Pacifastacus fortis (known as the Shasta crayfish or placid crayfish) is an endangered crayfish species endemic to Shasta County, California, where it is found and first described in 1914, only in isolated spots along the Pit River and Fall River Mills.

Research shows that crayfish do not die immediately when boiled alive, and respond to pain in a similar way to mammals. Then the stress hormone cortisol is released and this leads to the formation of lactic acid in the muscles, which makes the meat taste sour.
Crayfish have peripheral nerve fibres [44] which are responsive to noxious stimuli. [ 42 ] Neurons functionally specialized for nociception have been documented in other invertebrates including the leech Hirudo medicinalis , the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and the molluscs Aplysia californica and Cepaea nemoralis .
