Procambarus vioscai is a species of crayfish found in United States. [1]
The Cambaridae are the largest of the four families of freshwater crayfish, with over 400 Species. Most of the species in the family are native the United States east of the Great Divide and Mexico, but fewer range north to Canada, and south to Guatemala and Honduras. Three live on the island of Cuba. The species in the genus Cambaroides are the only found outside North America, as they are restricted to eastern Asia.
Procambarus clarkii, known variously as the red swamp crayfish, Louisiana crawfish or mudbug, is a species of cambarid crayfish native to freshwater bodies of northern Mexico, and southern and southeastern United States, but also introduced elsewhere, where it is often an invasive pest.
The Everglades crayfish, sometimes called the Florida crayfish, the blue crayfish, the electric blue crayfish, or the sapphire crayfish, is a species of freshwater crayfish endemic to Florida in the United States. Its natural range is the area east of St. Johns River and all of Florida from Levy County and Marion County southwards, as well as on some of the Florida Keys. It is included on the IUCN Red List as a species of Least Concern. The blue crayfish is frequently kept in freshwater aquaria. In the wild, this species varies from brown-tan to blue, but an aquarium strain has been selectively bred to achieve a brilliant cobalt blue color.
Procambarus is a genus of crayfish in the family Cambaridae, all native to North and Central America. It includes a number of troglobitic species, and the marbled crayfish (marmorkrebs), which is parthenogenetic. Originally described as a subgenus for four species, it now contains 161 species in 16 subgenera.
Procambarus barbiger, known as the Jackson prairie crayfish, is a species of crayfish in the family Cambaridae. It is endemic to Jackson Prairie in Newton County, Scott County, Jasper County, Smith County and Rankin County, Mississippi.
Procambarus brazoriensis, the Brazoria crayfish, is a species of crayfish which is endemic to Brazoria County, Texas. It is listed as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List.
Procambarus delicatus, sometimes called the big-cheeked cave crayfish, is a species of crayfish in the family Cambaridae. It is endemic to the Ocala National Forest, Lake County, Florida.
Procambarus erythrops, the Santa Fe cave crayfish, is a species of crayfish in the family Cambaridae. It is only known from five sites, all of which are north of the Santa Fe River, east of the Suwannee River, and west of Ichetucknee Springs, in Suwannee County, Florida.
Procambarus leitheuseri, sometimes called the Coastal Lowland cave crayfish, is a species of troglobite crayfish in the family Cambaridae. It is endemic to Hernando and Pasco counties, Florida and is listed as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List.
Procambarus nigrocinctus, the blackbelted crayfish, is a species of crayfish in the family Cambaridae. It is listed as a species of Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, because it is known from more than 100 sites across thirteen counties in Texas, all in the Neches River system, and is common and widespread in a national park.
Procambarus orcinus, known as the Woodville Karst cave crayfish, is a species of crayfish in the family Cambaridae. It is endemic to the Woodville Karst Plain in the United States. This species has been reported from eight solutional caves in southern Leon County as well as six caves in Wakulla County, Florida.
The marbled crayfish or Marmorkrebs is a parthenogenetic crayfish that was discovered in the pet trade in Germany in 1995. Marbled crayfish are closely related to the "slough crayfish", Procambarus fallax, which is widely distributed across Florida. No natural populations of marbled crayfish are known. Information provided by one of the original pet traders as to where the marbled crayfish originated was deemed "totally confusing and unreliable". The informal name Marmorkrebs is German for "marbled crayfish".
Procambarus liberorum is a species of crayfish in the family Cambaridae. It is endemic to the United States, where it occurs in Arkansas and Oklahoma. It is known commonly as the Osage burrowing crayfish.
Procambarus fallax is a species of crayfish in the genus Procambarus. It lives in tributaries of the Satilla River in Georgia and Florida. It is the closest relative to the parthenogenetic marbled crayfish, Procambarus virginalis.
Crayfish are eaten all over the world. Like other edible crustaceans, only a small portion of the body of a crayfish is edible. In most prepared dishes, such as soups, bisques and étouffées, only the tail portion is served. At crawfish boils or other meals where the entire body of the crayfish is presented, other portions, such as the claw meat, may be eaten.
Procambarus acutus, the white river crayfish, is a species of crayfish in the family Cambaridae. It is found in North America and Europe.
