The Gold Coast of Queensland lived up to its reputation of golden sandy beaches, palm trees swaying in the breeze, good surf, sunny skies, warm winter days, blue spiny crayfish, beau-tiful rainforests and good old fash-ioned Aussie hospitality over the week of 30th July – 4th August.

Dear IAA members:
It is an honor for me to become President of IAA and I am discovering that I have the same story as our Imme-diate Past-President, the dynamic Fran-
cesca Gherardi! We both attended our first IAA symposium in Thunder Bay (1996). Since then, it has always been a great pleasure for me to meet research-ers aware of crayfish biodiversity in Augsburg (1998), Fremantle (2000), Queretaro (2002) where I was proud to be selected to give the Sture Abra-
hamsson Memorial Lecture, London (2004) and IAA16 on the Gold Coast.
As IAA is the opportunity to meet people who have common interests, it is certainly in part due to the Association that I was able to propose the successful European Project CRAYNET involving eleven countries.
In this issue, you will find an overall view of the wonderful meeting organ-ized by James Furse, who was elected President-Elect (see the election results, pg 17). I want to inform James that Francesca took the opportunity of the first European Congress of Conservation Biology ‗Diversity in Europe‘, held in Hungary, to give me the precious cray-
fish fossil, now in safekeeping in my office. I also want to underline how hard our elected secretary Jim Fetzner is working to establish a new and perma-nently updated website, to help the president with electronically editing Crayfish News and to make more avail-able recent issues of Freshwater Cray-fish.
Since IAA16, I have had already signed two letters. You may enjoy the text of both letters in this issue, setting out exactly the primary role of such an association: the IAA meeting at the Gold Coast resolved to send a letter in favor of a Recovery Plan for the Giant Freshwater Lobster Astacopsis gouldi. Alastair Richardson drafted the letter with the great help of Stephanie Peay's notes (U.K.)(see pg 15). The letter has gone urgently to the Federal Minster for the Environment, and was then cop-ied to the Tasmanian Premier and his two relevant ministers. The second let-ter (pg 18) was sent to the University of Kuopio, Finland (Paula Henttonen and Japo Jussila), confirming that the IAA board has elected the Institute of Ap-plied Technology and the Crayfish Inno-vation Centre (Ari Mannonen) to be or-ganizers of IAA 17 in August 2008.

The International Association of Astacology (IAA), founded in
Hintertal, Austria in 1972, is dedicated to the study, conservation,
and wise utilization of freshwater crayfish. Any individual or firm
interested in furthering the study of astacology is eligible for
membership. Service to members include a quarterly newsletter,
membership directory, bi-annual international symposia and
publication of the journal Freshwater Crayfish.

The International Association of Astacology has a permanent
secretariat managed by Bill Daniels. Address: IAA Secretariat,

cidentally, the first time I saw the new president re-ceiving the crayfish fossil in Thunder Bay (1996) it was Paula Henttonen. The Finnish team has an excel-lent leitmotiv: ―IAA meeting has been done before: IAA3 was organized in Kuopio in 1976 by Ossi
Lindqvist (President in 1978 and Honorary Member of the IAA), the tradition is there and Ossi is still going strong‖. I hope the letter will be a good help when looking for the necessary funds from many sponsors.
I remind you that another urgent task is to solve the problem of editing Freshwater Crayfish; don‘t hesitate to give your point of view for further discus-sion, knowing that we need to have a solution very urgently; in Australia, some ideas were submitted but each IAA member has to express his feeling. James Furse assumed that FC16 will be published and a proposal was made in the IAA board meeting and brought up at the general assembly that future IAA symposium registration fees should include clearly the cost of publishing Freshwater Crayfish after the meeting. Arnie Eversole proposed that there should be a managing editor for FC to help organize and keep the publication schedule on track; this seemed to have approval by those in attendance at the IAA16 assembly.
ecology, conservation and management, and during all breaks between all sessions delegates were treated to lots of great Australian food and drinks. In fact the only (and frequent) complaint from delegates was that it was going to take some time to work off all the extra bodyweight added at the symposium).
Wednesday was the symposium day-trip, and the destination was the World famous O‘Reillys Rainforest Guesthouse in the World Heritage Listed Lamington National Park. In addition to the symposium delegates we were most fortunate to be joined by the main sponsor, Director of the Centre for Innovative Conser-vation Strategies (CICS), and the Head of the School of Environmental and Applied Sciences (EAS) Griffith University: Clyde H. Wild, and his son Seanan J. Wild. Clyde kindly provided a most informative commentary en-route to our destination, and our bus driver Noel did a fabulous job of negotiating the steep, very nar-row and winding mountain roads. Well done to Noel as it was his first ever trip to O‘Reillys, and he man-aged it in a bus without 2nd and 4th gears – how he managed that feat on those roads escapes me! Every-one on the day trip was treated to some truly remark-able vistas, rainforest, and a very close look at some stunning birds that included Regents and Satin Bower-birds, Crimson Rosellas, King Parrots, and Scrub Tur-keys. After lunch delegates headed off on a walk down into the Toolona Creek Gorge via Picnic Rock to Elabana Falls, during the hike down Shawn Leckie and Jason Coughran (Southern Cross University-NSW) cap-tured a small red crayfish (that was not identified on the day). It was nothing short of remarkable that we managed to lure 2 medium sized (~70 OCL) male speci-mens of Euastacus sulcatus from their refuges and catch them for closer inspection, typically E. sulcatus of this size are simply not active in early August. Well done Premek Hamr on a fine job of catching the 2nd specimen by hand! It was also remarkable that not a single delegate discovered just how powerful, and painful the chelae of this species can be – so many fin-gers, so very close to a painful memory of Lamington National Park and E. sulcatus. A brisk walk back up to O‘Reillys it was back on the bus and back to the Gold Coast.
We really were lucky on that day-trip, the weather behaved itself, we saw some crayfish (and no injuries to man or beast), no-one got lost, no-one was stung by the giant stinging trees, nor bitten by the venom-ous snakes or spiders, no-one picked up a tick, not even a leech – remarkable!
The oral sessions continued on Thursday and the symposium banquet was held on Thursday evening. A

All of the presentations at IAA16 were of the very highest quality and the organisers of IAA16 extend their thanks to the Judges (Alastair Richardson, Cath-
erine Souty-Grosset, and Clive Jones) who were faced with a very difficult task indeed given the quality of all the presentations.
Friday, the final ½ day of the symposium, com-menced with morning tea (at 10 AM) and the days activities included the IAA general assembly, welcom-ing Catherine Souty-Grossest as the new IAA President (and handing over the interim IAA fossil crayfish-kangaroo ―thing‖), some very kind words from Mar-
tin Moore to the IAA16 team. Martin also presented myself with a very nice crayfish hat. The final surprise(?) presentation of the symposium was made by Japo
Jussila (and team), which of course was the bid to host IAA17 in Kuopio (Finland) in 2008. In addition to being the very worst kept secret of the week, the IAA17 bid was fabulous and very well received by all
delegates present. The final scheduled activity of IAA16 was to sit down to lunch and eat more food, before bidding farewell to other delegates.
A final few words from James. On behalf of the IAA16 team (including CICS and the School of EAS - Griffith University), I would like to extend our sincere and deep thanks to all delegates who made the of-ten long (and often expensive) journey to attend IAA16: it simply would not have been possible with-out your support. We have received many wonderful and kind messages of thanks from all over the World – thank you all! It was simply our very great pleasure to have you all come and visit us here, where we live and work – our home! You will always be welcome here on the Gold Coast of Queensland and of course at Griffith University. We shall remain more than happy to organise, and host, another IAA Symposium in the future here in Southeast Queensland – we en-joyed IAA16 too!
The first official call for papers to be considered for inclusion in Freshwater Crayfish 16 will be made via e-mail in the near future. However authors are invited to submit papers (as a MS-Word attachment) at anytime to the following address:

Low Yields Reported for the Louisiana Crayfish Season and Some Possible Causes
Crayfish yields in Louisiana for the previous year were very dismal. The capture fishery from natural habitats was nearly nonexistent, lasting only a few days and from a small confined area of the vast habi-tat. Yield of farm raised crayfish in Louisiana for the 2005-2006 production season was abnormally low also. Though the formal estimates will not be avail-able until early 2007, some have estimated the farm production at only 40 to 50% of normal. Greatest yield reductions seem to be with those farms that culture crayfish behind rice using a field rotation ap-proach. This strategy, involving a majority of the land devoted to crayfish production in Louisiana, is most susceptible to yield adversity because popula-tion densities are typically lower than in ponds per-manently dedicated to crayfish production. When crayfish are not cultured in the same pond during consecutive production seasons, there is little oppor-tunity for the build-up of populations and de-synchronization of reproduction cycles within the population – both aspects that tend to mitigate some environmental related impacts. Therefore, unfavor-able weather patterns or other environmental condi-tions that impact crayfish broodstock survival and/or reproduction generally have a greater impact on crayfish production systems that employ the field ro-
tation approach.
While inadequate overflow from the Mississippi River drainage system negatively impacted the cap-ture fishery, farm production was largely impacted by local environmental events. The storm surge from Hurricane Rita (September 2005) accounted for a di-rect loss of about 8% of the state‘s production area and indirectly affected additional operations. How-ever, it is surmised that a prolonged drought that existed during the summer and autumn of 2005 had the greatest negative influence on crayfish produc-tion state-wide. Drought conditions while crayfish are confined to summer burrows can hamper survival and reproduction of broodstock critical to the re-population of ponds. Some data was gathered at the LSU Agricultural Center‘s Rice Research Station that supports this assumption.
During the summer of 2005, 1 month following pond draining, 260 burrows were hand excavated and crayfish were retrieved, water volume and bur-row depth recorded, and location of the burrow en-trances were noted. Unexpectedly, 45% of the bur-rows contained no living crayfish after only one month of summer drawdown. Dead crayfish were generally associated with burrows containing no measurable water, and there was a strong positive relationship between the amount of water present and burrow depth. Crayfish burrows with entrances at or above the pond‘s water line (likely pre-drain burrows) contained over twice the mortalities as those with entrances on the pond bottom (post-drain burrows). Drought may hasten the disappearance of
water perched inside crayfish bur-rows by facilitating cracks in the soil near the surface allowing evapora-tion (Fig. 1). Burrows constructed earlier and/or on the upper levels of the pond levee may be more condu-cive to cracking and/or wicking. These findings suggest that the un-usually dry conditions during 2005 in Louisiana may have been a sig-nificant factor in negatively impact-ing subsequent crayfish yields.

Atlas of Crayfish in Europe. Souty-Grossett C, Holdich DM, Noel PY, Reynolds JD, and Haffner P. (eds.) 2006. (see cover on page 20).
Crayfish are important as part of our natural heritage and represent key elements in freshwater ecosystems. Their conservation favors the protection of the aquatic environment and water resources and they have a cultural and economic value in Europe. However, the loss of populations in the wild is exac-erbated by the degradation of water quality due to human population pressures. Even if habitats are re-stored and species reintroduced, their effective man-agement requires the understanding of impacts of translocation of non-indigenous crayfish species, par-
ticularly with the spread of crayfish plague.
The first part of this atlas deals with systematics and phylogeny, followed by a general description of habitats and threats in the second part. The third part describes current knowledge of the five indige-nous species, seven non-indigenous species and three recently discovered non-indigenous species. The fourth part deals with diseases and the fifth part de-scribes conservation and management, including education and legislation. The final part is intended to generate awareness of indigenous stocks.
Basic information are thus widely available across Europe, both for administrators and the general pub-lic. A bibliography, a glossary and a species identifica-
tion key complete the volume. H
New Books
Starr is fast becoming a paragon of contemporary Australian art, both in
Australia and around the world. With successful exhibitions around
Australia as well as in New York and Singapore, she is carving a niche for her-
self, with an instantly recognizable and thoroughly original style.
Her work explores the warmth and passion of life as an artist, and Starr
captures in paint what the camera seeks to fix in a moment of time. Starr
creates works that become contemporary icons. Her subject matter is both
familiar and universal in appeal. The lush layered surfaces are worked with
fast-saturated color and include her signature calligraphic line that traces
time and energy. Her individual works have become highly collectable.
Should any delegates or IAA members be interested in ordering one of
Starr‘s paintings (of a particular species) — please contact Clive Jones at
[email protected] and he will pass along your interest to the artist. H
