Phylogenetic Analysis of Freshwater Crayfish of Massachusetts: The genus Procambarus
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerKnowing the invasive nature of several species of freshwater crayfish of the genus Procambarus, it was predicted that some of the watersheds within Massachusetts area could be affected by these species. For this study 14 organisms of Procambarus genus were collected from 5 different sites within the state. 16S rRNA mitochondrial gene of each organism was sequenced. This study suggests that all of the organisms collected either belong to one species - Procambarus acutus that is not considered to be an invasive species, or are hybrids of both invasive Procambarus clarkii and Procambarus acutus.
