An invasive species that eats everything in its path, can fertilize themselves and multiply rapidly.
this is the description of the ‘marmorkrebsen’, which has just been found in the Karup Å by Skive in northern Jutland, denmark. It writes the AQUA Aquarium and animal park, which is located at Silkeborg, in a press release.
AQUA has been deposited the copy, which has been found in Karup Å, and they are, to put it mildly, not happy.
– It looks rubbish out of our waterways, says zoologist at AQUA Morten Vissing in the press release.
The invasive marmorkrebs is so dangerous for the Danish streams, because it simply eats up everything in its path. It lives mainly on a plant-based food, but complement it with aquatic insects, molluscs, smaller fish and fry.
in Addition, the selvbefrugtende, so that it can multiply quickly, as if the first be allowed to establish themselves in the Danish streams.

Habitat is also no problem for marmorkrebsen, for it can live in all types of fresh water from small ponds and lakes to larger, flowing streams.
– It is both omkostningsrigt and very hard to keep the stock down if it first establishes itself, says Morten Vissing in the press release.
He refers, among others, for marmorkrebsen has invaded so large areas of Madagascar, that it has major significance to the wildlife and plants in the area.
Because marmorkrebsen is so good to take care of itself, as is also popular to keep at home, for people who have an aquarium. In addition to that, it requires very little care, it also has a nice pattern.
the Problem is just that it can replicate itself and very fast, so the aquarium quickly filled. Therefore, there is a risk that the owners take the kids out in nature.
How has the cancer spread in the wild in several places in the world. Both Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, and the aforementioned Madagascar has been overrun by nature.
At the AQUA Aquarium and animal park they have chosen to exhibit the copy of which they have been filed, in its own aquarium. Here it must stay completely alone, but probably not for long – the bears already around at the hundreds of eggs.
