Australian red claw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus)
Originally distributed in northern Queensland and the Northern Territories, the red claw crayfish has been successfully introduced in many subtropical and tropical countries worldwide and is therefore considered to be an invasive species. Even in Australia, where they are bred for food, they have started to inhabit lowland freshwater ecosystems in Western Australia and southern Queensland.
Lawn Hill Creek and the Gulf of Carpenteria, on the other hand, are part of their pre-human distribution. Berried female, Lawn Hill Creek, Queensland.
