Action Plan: White-clawed Crayfish

The white-clawed crayfish is the only species of freshwater crayfish which is native to the UK and is found in clean, calcareous streams, rivers and lakes. The body is smooth and olive green to brown in colour and can reach up to 12cm in length from the tip of the rostrum (snout) to the telson (tail plate), making them the largest, most mobile freshwater invertebrate.

There are 11 ten kilometre grid squares in Northumberland within which the White-clawed Crayfish has been recorded.
