At the same time, a former colleague (Christina Belle) from the marine lab, too have published her article on the exotic Australian red-claw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus (von Martens, 1868) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Parastactidae) in Singapore. These crayfish are not found naturally in our freshwater bodies, hence the impact that it has on the environment might potentially be negative.
