Abstract:
The introduction of invasive crayfish has led to a decline of many European native species of crayfish across their range. We aimed to identify the distribution of the seven species using a traditional trap surveillance method as well by collecting water samples to detect eDNA by species-specific quantitative real-time PCR. Using eDNA, important populations of native noble and white-clawed crayfish were revealed in multiple waters across various cantons. This method which has the ability to detect all species simultaneously across an entire country, will allow an improvement in freshwater crayfish conservation management.
