Euastacus crayfish are distinguished from the smooth-shelled Cherax species by the short robust spikes on their claws and carapace, and frequently, their larger size. Many Euastacus species grow to a relatively large size, with the Murray River crayfish ( Euastacus armatus ) being the second largest freshwater crayfish species in the world.
These crayfish have a small population size, as well as a very low reproductive rate and the relatively long time to reach maturity compared to other crayfish. Human disturbance has a significant impact on this species to their troglobitic nature. This can include anything as small as the presence of humans and disturbance of water in their ...
