bodies such as canals, streams quarries (Holdich 2003). Recently
it has been found that A. pallipes can tolerate muddy habitats
if tree roots or other woody habitats are available (Holdich et

important features in determining crayfish abundance (Naura and
Robinson 1998). It may also be found in large numbers in waters
dominated by Chara sp. et al. 2006). This species and

in the pH range 7-9, with calcium levels above 5 mg l-1. This
species occurs in areas with relatively hard, mineral-rich
waters on calcareous and rapidly weathering rocks. A study from
