    Abstract
    Although it occurs near one of Australia's largest cities, there is a remarkable lack of information on the Setose Yabby, Cherax setosus. The morphology of the species has never been thoroughly described, and basic information on its distribution and ecology is required. In this paper, we give a thorough redescription of the species and present data on its distribution, habitat and general biology. Cherax setosus is a medium-sized crayfish with a lowland, coastal distribution extending from just south of Taree to just north of Morisset in eastern New South Wales, a northeastsouthwest distance of approximately ...

    Although it occurs near one of Australia's largest cities, there is a remarkable lack of information on the Setose Yabby, Cherax setosus. The morphology of the species has never been thoroughly described, and basic information on its distribution and ecology is required. In this paper, we give a thorough redescription of the species and present data on its distribution, habitat and general biology. Cherax setosus is a medium-sized crayfish with a lowland, coastal distribution extending from just south of Taree to just north of Morisset in eastern New South Wales, a northeastsouthwest distance of approximately 150km. The species is rarely found in permanent aquatic habitats in the area, but builds extensive burrow networks in minor, ephemeral habitats such as gullies, roadside ditches, stump holes, swamps and pastures. Although it appears to be relatively common across its range, the species may be susceptible to impacts such as reproductive interference with the translocated crayfish C. destructor and predation on juveniles by the introduced plague minnow, Gambusia holbrooki.
