Astacus astacus, the European crayfish, noble crayfish, or broad-fingered crayfish, is the most common species of crayfish in Europe, and a traditional food source. Like other true crayfish, A. astacus is restricted to fresh water , living only in unpolluted streams, rivers, and lakes.
Crayfish usually have limited home range and so they rest, digest, and eliminate their waste, most commonly in the same location each day. Feeding exposes the crayfish to risk of predation, and so feeding behaviour is often rapid and synchronised with feeding processes that reduce such risks — eat, hide, process and eliminate.
