Apart from the crime of smuggling an IUCN Red List species, there is also a risk of invasive species hitchikers with these sort of activities. It's great to see these sort of people being stopped. -

The Chinese mitten crab has not been recorded in NI, but there is a high risk of it arriving here. Always follow the #CheckCleanDry principles when moving from one water body to another. Report any sightings via: CEDaR๐or iRecord๐
Another Chinese mitten crab found in the cheekpoint area, Waterford. This small female has 1000s of eggs typically released at the end of spring early summer. Please report any sightings and get in contact @BioDataCentre. This is a high impact invasive alien species. @ucdscience

The signal crayfish has not been recorded in NI, but if introduced, could have a detrimental impact on our native white-clawed crayfish. Stop its introduction and spread by reporting ALL sightings: ๐โ CEDaR ๐ or iRecord๐ #CCD
New Year, new claw?? ๐คSpecies of the month is the white-clawed crayfish. UKโs only freshwater crayfish that is endangered & on IUCN Red list. They're on decline due to the crayfish plague & although not present in Ireland, other non-native crayfish species pose a threat๐ฆ
