The global economic costs of invasive aquatic crustaceans amounted to at least US$ 271 million

An international scientific team from Czech Republic, Spain, Germany, the UK, the USA, Italy, and France has compilled all existing published costs of invasive aquatic crustaceans and pointed out knowledge gaps.
Invasive crayfish and crabs had the highest costs, US$ 121 and US$ 150 million, respectively. Taxonomic, geographical, and temporal gaps suggest that these costs are still severely underestimated.
