Abstract

Aqua-Impact investigates the signal crayfish's (Pacifastacus leniusculus) impact on European freshwater ecosystems. It aims to develop mitigation strategies through four tasks and investigate the interaction with global stressors such as pollution and climate variations. Aligned with SDGs 6, 13, and 15, the project collaborates with local communities to devise informed management strategies for biodiversity preservation.(DOI: 10.54499/2023.07078.CEECIND/CP2841/CT0002)
