Phylum: Arthropoda<\/p>\n

Subphylum: Crustacea<\/p>\n

Classe: Malacostraca<\/p>\n

Ordine: Decapoda<\/p>\n

Famiglia: Astacidae<\/p>\n

Genere: Austropotamobius<\/p>\n

Specie: Austropotamobius pallipes<\/p>\n

Austropotamobius pallipes<\/em>, has a rather robust appearance, can reach and exceed 12-13 cm in length from the tip of the rostrum to the telson (although in most cases it does not exceed 10 cm) and a weight of 90 grams. The colouring of the body can be brown, yellowish-brown or greenish-brown on the back and sides, while the belly and limbs are whitish. The claws have an irregular internal margin and the ventral part is white.<\/p>\n

It has ten appendices, organized into five pairs; the first pair consists of two large claws suitable for offense and defense, the following two pairs end with small claws designed to bring food to the mouth, while the last two pairs end with a pointed structure, called dactylopodite, acting mainly as displacement appendages.<\/p>\n

The body of the white \u2013clawded cryfish, Austropotamobius pallipes<\/em>, has the external skeleton or exoskeleton made up of chitin, a protein substance that gives the membranous coating a horny consistency. The presence of a sclerified exoskeleton provides protection to the internal organs, support as well as facilitating the locomotion of the animal, but does not allow its growth. Therefore, in order to grow, the shrimp must get rid of the old carapace and form a new coating; this phenomenon is called molting or ecdysis and is hormonally regulated. Body growth is limited to the short periods in which it is soft enough to expand, i.e. in the period immediately following the moult.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-5 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_single_image image=”1048″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1583409550998{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;background-color: #f49e00 !important;}” nt_agricom_vc_row_992_responsive=”.vc_custom_1583409551000{padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;}” nt_agricom_vc_row_768_responsive=”.vc_custom_1583409551001{padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;}” nt_agricom_vc_row_480_responsive=”.vc_custom_1583409551002{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-12 vc_col-md-12 vc_col-xs-12″ css=”.vc_custom_1583409751097{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Where does It live” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Raleway%3A100%2C200%2C300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700%2C800%2C900|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]Austropotamobius pallipes\u00a0<\/em> is widespread throughout the Western portion of the European continent, including Great Britain and Ireland.

At the end of the 19th century, the state of freshwater crayfish in Italy was already seriously compromised. From 1999 to 2009, 74% of decline was documented in Italy The causes of its rarefaction are manifold and mainly related to anthropic activities: drainage and canalization works; transformation of some rivers into navigable canals; barriers of waterways (dams, locks, etc.); excessive withdrawals and waste of water for industrial, agricultural and civil use; hot water discharges linked to the production of electricity; industrial and urban waste; drought, poaching, fish sowing, acidification of water and deliberate or accidental release of alien species with their parasitic load.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”837″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
