neil cooney 10,416 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Here in Ireland at the moment there's an emergency plan in place as the plague has been found in our native Crayfish and it's 100% fatal so it's worrying. Some folk are wondering have we now got the Signal Crayfish in Ireland but it hasn't been seen yet. BUT, if that pest does arrive in our rivers here's one lad who'll do his bit for conservation and eat as many as possible, LOL, they look delicious. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
