Red Swamp Crayfish (procambarus Clarkii) in River Nile, Egypt

In-Depth Transcriptome Analysis of the Red Swamp Crayfish Procambarus clarkii

The red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii is a highly adaptable, tolerant, and fecund freshwater crayfish that inhabits a wide range of aquatic environments. It is an important crustacean model organism that is used in many research fields, including animal behavior, environmental stress and toxicity, and studies of viral infection. Despite its widespread use, knowledge of the crayfish genome ...

In-depth comparative transcriptome analysis of intestines of red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, infected with WSSV

Crayfish has become one of the most important farmed aquatic species in China due to its excellent disease resistance against bacteria and viruses. However, the antiviral mechanism of crayfish is still not very clear. In the present study, many high-quality sequence reads from crayfish intestine were obtained using Illumina-based transcriptome sequencing. For the normal group (GN), 44,600,142 h...

Acute toxicity of lead nitrate to red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii

Red crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, is widely farmed in the southern states of Louisiana and Texas. It is the most valuable of commercial crayfish species in the United States, where it is considered a delicacy. In recent years, its availability has decreased due to environmental contamination by toxic chemicals including lead. In the present study, we conducted a ninety-six-hour static renewal ...

Origins of the invasive red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) in the Santa Monica Mountains

Although native to the southeastern United States, the red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) has become established worldwide through accidental and intentional actions by humans. In the Santa Monica Mountains of southern California, the presence of the omnivorous crayfish is associated with the absence or reduced abundance of native amphibians. The original source of P. clarkii in southern ...
