The crayfish have been released in Builth Wells river that caused crayfish to be affected because there are not in there right habitat.
They have been released into specially selected "ark" sites on a tributary of the River Irfon after being reared at NRW's Fish Culture Unit with help from local ecology charity the Wye and Usk Foundation.The release sites are chosen for their habitat and water quality and because
they are free from non-native crayfish and crayfish plague, a disease carried by the American crayfish.Crayfish belong in different types of water not river water.
