Procambarus clarkii females incubating eggs or carrying young may be found year-round, which contributes greatly to the success and abundance of this species, but optimal temperatures are 21-27°C; growth is inhibited below 12°C (Ackefors 1999, GISD 2011). Romaire. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR). This species exhibits high fecundity: a 10 cm female can produce as many as 500 eggs, while a smaller female produces around 100 eggs (GISD 2011, Huner and Barr 1991).

Effects of an omnivorous crayfish (Orconectes rusticus) on a freshwater littoral food web. Proceedings of the Southeastern Association of Game and Fisheries Commission 23: 634-648. Red swamp crayfish are considered invasive in Michigan because they compete aggressively with native crayfish species for food and habitat. Red swamp crayfish are crustaceans with long antennae, two pincer claws, and eight legs. Populations grow rapidly and their burrowing habit significantly alters new environments by changing habitat structure and increasing sedimentation. 2010. and J.D. Bucciarelli, G.M., D. Suh, A.D.

Plants and/or detritus tend to be consumed in greatest frequency and volume, with plant consumption highest in summer and detritus feeding intense year round (Correia 2003, Gherardi and Barbaresi 2008). The red swamp crayfish is a physical ecosystem engineer, primarily constructing simple, two-crayfish burrows consisting of a single opening, which may be covered with a mud plug or chimney to reduce evaporative loss further from the water’s edge, and a tunnel widening to an enlarged terminal chamber (Correia and Ferreira 1995, Huner and Barr 1991, Jaspers and Avault 1969).
