Topic : American Signal Crayfish |
|
| Mickyfinn |
I spotted a rather large American Signal Crayfish in the beck today about 100yds upstream from Clog bridge. That's bad news for other life in the beck. They have the ability of undermining the riverbank too. |

Should the environment agency be made aware ? I understand they carry disease. |
|

yep informing the enviro agency is about all you're allowed to do. even though they're a known invader you're not allowed to remove them |
|

I believe you can request a permit to trap and remove them. Delicious! |

river aire and canal is full of them,they carry a parasite that kills the native white clawed crayfish  |

For more details about crayfish and crayfish trapping consult the Environment Agency website www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/recreation/fishing/38045.aspx |

That is useful link darter. Thank you. Have you notified Environmental Health Mickeyfinn ? If someone feels this is useful to do please could they do it. Much appreciated. Busy with Planning Permission 13/03292/FUL. I am given to understand this is for heavy engineering resulting in excessive noise for many residents , no restrictions to day and night use. Environmental Health are not supporting the application. Let's try to do our best for Silsden. |
