Especially alarming are recent confirmation of two distantly separated marbled crayfish Procambarus fallax f. virginalis populations in Ukraine and indications of more North American cambarids present in the local pet market. The present study aimed to investigate crayfish species availability within the Ukrainian pet trade together with the climate match and risk they represent to the freshwater ecosystems generally and indigenous crayfish species in particular. Altogether, 15 NICS belonging to all three crayfish families were detected. Considering their origin, availability, probability of establishment, invasiveness and further aspects, marbled crayfish and red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii appear to be potentially the most troubling.

Licensed under Creative Commons (CC BY-NC). Available: https://www.inaturalist.org/photos/7107944. (December 2017). 1 Native Range, and Status in the United States Native Range From Alvarez et al. (2010): “This species is known from Brazos and Brazoria counties, Texas, eastward through the coastal plain to the Mississippi basin and from the lower part of the delta to Johnson County, Illinois (Taylor et al. 2004, Fetzner 2008, Burr and Hobbs 1984, Hobbs 1990). In addition, this species is a native of the Mississippi River lowlands in Missouri (B. DiStefano pers. comm. 2010).” 1 Status in the United States From Morehouse and Tobler (2013): “Cambarellus puer occurs from southern Illinois and Missouri southward along the Mississippi River to Louisiana and westward to southeastern Oklahoma and eastern Texas. Current records indicate a very limited distribution in Oklahoma. It is known from a single location: a swampy area with dense vegetation along the Little River in McCurtain County. […] This species has not been collected in Oklahoma since 1975.” Faulkes (2015a) reports that C. puer is not found in the pet trade in the United States, citing Faulkes (2015b). Means of Introductions in the United States This species has not been reported as introduced outside of its native range in the United States.

Almost half of individual cray- fish sold (48.5%) were Marmorkrebs, which is more than twice as many as C. shufeldtii, the second most commonly sold species. The Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) was often offered for auction, but was bought much less often than the other three species. About 11% of P. c lar k ii auctions were successful, while more than 45% of auctions were successful for the other three.
