SPECIES OF BRANCHIOBDELLIDAE (ANNELIDA) ON FRESHWATER CRAYFISH IN SOUTH TYROL (NORTHERN ITALY)
Twenty-eight freshwater crayfish were collected from 8 streams and one small lake in the province of South Tyrol (North Italy) from autumn 1999 to spring 2001, in order to investigate the presence of branchiobdellidans. At 6 of the streams the white clawed crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes it...
