The importance of sex, individual size and hide size in the hide use of freshwater crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus Eschscholtz 1823)

Abstract

The importance of sex, individual size and hide size in the hide use of A. leptodactylus was investigated. It was found that there was not a competition between the new visitor and old hide-owner to have the hide in the same sex, but there was a minor competition between the sexes. However, this competition between the sexes was not at the level of cannibalism. In addition, it was also observed that the individuals of A. leptodactylus used the hides more intensively if there was a relation between hide size and individual size. In conclusion, this study shows that the number and size of hides have a great importance in the use of A. leptodactylus.
