Rusty Crayfish (Orconectes rusticus) ERSS “The rusty crayfish O rusticus, is one of the most well-known non-indigenous crayfish species, having been identified as extirpating native crayfish species and disrupting local ecosystems
Invasive Rusty Crayfish - U. S. National Park Service Rusty crayfish (Orconectes rusticus) are a species of freshwater crustacean that are native to the southern U S they are, however, invasive in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and it is suspected that they were transported and released by anglers who were using them as bait
The Impacts of Invasive Crayfish and Other Non-Native Species on Native . . . Four key mechanisms through which invasive crayfish impact native crayfish were identified: competition, predation, introduction of disease, and reproductive impacts, while other non-native species primarily impact native crayfish through predation
Assessing ecosystem vulnerability to invasive rusty crayfish In this study, we assessed the vulnerability of freshwater ecosystems to the multiple stages of invasion, from arrival to establishment and ecological impacts, by a problematic nonnative species, rusty crayfish (Orconectes rusticus)
Aquatic Invasive Species Quick Guide - University of Wisconsin . . . Ecological Impacts: Rusty crayfish are larger and more aggressive than most native crayfish, and are able to outcompete native species for food and habitat Rusty crayfish consume large amounts of aquatic invertebrates, small fish, fish eggs, tadpoles, native crayfish, plants, and other aquatic life

Invasion of Rusty Crayfish, Orconectes Rusticus, in the United States . . . Ecological niche modeling allows for the assessment of invasion potential of non-native species Here, we used native and invasive occurrence locations and the Maxent niche modeling algorithm to predict the invasion potential of rusty crayfish, Orconectes rusticus Girard, 1852, in the United States
