Biological parameters of the burrowing crayfish, Parastacus pugnax (Poeppig, 1835), in Tiuquilemu, Bío-Bío Region, Chile
In order to determine the biological parameters of the burrowing crayfish (Parastacus pugnax), we fenced in 900 m² of a humid, low-lying sector in Tiuquilemu, Bío-Bío Region, Chile. Monthly samples were taken from August 2007 to August 2008, and 3,512 specimens were caught. Records were made of thei...
