Crayfish - guardians of our waters
As soon as dusk falls, crayfish and other aquatic animals really wake up. This evening excursion will give you an insight into the lives of decapods and their fellow inhabitants.
The aquatic habitat with its numerous, often secretive inhabitants is a largely unknown world. Crayfish play an important role as water police officers. Small organisms such as water fleas, freshwater shrimps, snails and whirlpool worms also play an important role. The presence of aquatic animals provides an indication of the condition of the water body. On the excursion to the crayfish station, you will learn more about the diverse life under water. Jeannot Müller, WWF Riverwatcher, has set himself the goal of repopulating suitable waters in the region with crayfish. During breeding, the aim is to promote a near-natural ecosystem in the tanks so that the crayfish can become accustomed to living conditions in the wild at an early stage. As a result, various other animal and plant species can be found in the tanks alongside the crayfish. This excursion will give you an insight into the rearing and development of the decapods and which animals share the aquatic habitat with the crayfish.
