These maps show crayfish distribution in Romania and they are in GoogleMaps format. The maps are updated constantly according to the most recent information available. In blue, crayfish locations corroborated in scientific publications are shown; while in yellow, crayfish locations supported by sporadic observations are noted. On these bases, I try to update the probable distribution of each species. For a general view, I have included here maps of crayfish distribution at the European level. These maps are taken from the ”Atlas of Crayfish in Europe” [Souty-Grosset C, Holdich DM, Noel PY, Raynolds GD, Haffner P (eds) 2006] and are shown here with the authors’ written permission.

You photographed a crayfish and you would like to know what species it is? Do you want the information you are providing to be shown on the map? Contact me!

Note! If you would like to use any of these crayfish distribution maps in educational or scientific purposes, feel free to do so, as long as you use the correct reference: [Pârvulescu L. (2009): Crayfish of Romania, http://crayfish.ro accessed on ...]. For data that comes from other sources, I strongly recommend mentioning these sources. Contact me for any further details.
