Crawfish: Trending in South-west Britain
Dr Angus Jackson
06 Apr 2023

Crawfish (Palinurus elephas) are large, colourful crustacea that inhabit rocky seabeds along the west of Britain and Ireland, also known as spiny lobster. They were fished almost to extinction in south-west England towards the end of the last century. Excitingly, this economically valuable species has undergone a remarkable recovery in Cornwall and Devon since 2014. Angus will describe how we are now able to track and analyse trends in the crawfish population using citizen science records collected for Seasearch by volunteer divers. We need to understand such trends in abundance and distribution if we are to manage this recovering population into the future.
