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

Effect of starvation on growth, histology and ultrastructure of digestive system of juvenile red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii Girard)

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of 20 d starvation on growth, survival, histomorphology and ultrastructure changes in the digestive system of juvenile red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). Juveniles were divided into two groups: a food-deprived group and a control group at 9 day after hatch (DAH). Individuals were sampled at 14, 20, 29 DAH. During the 20 d fasting per...

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 ...
