Abstract

This contribution presents the first record of the noble crayfish Astacus astacus (Linnaeus, 1758) in Euboea (Evia) Island, Greece. The crayfish was found during a fish monitoring expedition in the upper Mesapios River, in a reach that maintains flow throughout the year, while most of the river length desiccates completely during the dry season. The finding of A. astacus in an intermittent river of Euboea Island expands the species geographical range and calls for immediate conservation actions to protect its habitat and preserve this vulnerable population.

为了寻找意想不到的东西:在希腊首次发现了尊贵的小龙虾Astacus的岛屿种群，重新定义了它的分布

本文介绍了在希腊伊维亚岛发现的尊贵小龙虾Astacus Astacus (Linnaeus, 1758)的第一个记录。这只小龙虾是在梅萨皮奥斯河上游的一次鱼类监测探险中发现的，这条河全年都保持着流量，而大部分河流在旱季完全干涸。在Euboea岛一条间歇河流中发现的A. astacus扩大了该物种的地理范围，并呼吁立即采取保护行动，保护其栖息地和保护这一脆弱种群。

期刊介绍： Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems (KMAE-Bulletin Français de la Pêche et de la Pisciculture since 1928) serves as a foundation for scientific advice across the broad spectrum of management and conservation issues related to freshwater ecosystems. The journal publishes articles, short communications, reviews, comments and replies that contribute to a scientific understanding of freshwater ecosystems and the impact of human activities upon these systems. Its scope includes economic, social, and public administration studies, in so far as they are directly concerned with the management of freshwater ecosystems (e.g. European Water Framework Directive, USA Clean Water Act, Canadian Water Quality Guidelines, …) and prove of general interest to freshwater specialists. Papers on insular freshwater ecosystems and on transitional waters are welcome. KMAE is not a preferred journal for taxonomical, physiological, biological, toxicological studies, unless a clear link to ecological aspects can be established. Articles with a very descriptive content can be accepted if they are part of a broader ecological context.
