November 2023: Population status assessment of crayfish (Astacus astacus and Austropotamobius torrentium) – Activity 1.1.3: Monitoring activity
In November 2023, the organization “Biologists of Albania” conducted another round of monitoring for two crayfish species in the lakes of Ohrid, Great Prespa, and the rivers of the Shebenik-Jabllanice National Park, specifically in the Qarrishta and Rrapuni areas. The monitoring was carried out using traps with bait at 7 stations in Lake Ohrid, 5 stations in Great Prespa, and 2 stations in the rivers of the National Park.
During the monitoring, the presence of one crayfish species was confirmed in the lakes of Ohrid and Great Prespa. A notable observation was the relatively low number of individuals captured during this season. Additionally, questionnaires were continued with random encounters of residents or fishermen at the monitoring stations to gather further information.
