The Astacoides crosnieri

''Astacoides crosnieri'' is a species of crustacean in family Parastacidae. It is endemic to Madagascar, being widespread in the former Province Fianatantsoa. ''A. crosnieri'' inhabits swampy areas at an elevation between 500 – 1000 m above sea level.

The populations are threatened by habitate loss and predation pressure from introduced species.
Since ''A. crosnieri'' has a muddy taste and their habitat is difficult to access, ''A. crosnieri'' is less targeted by fisheries compared.. more
