Procambarus digueti
Procambarus digueti is a species of fresh water crayfish in the genus Procambarus and in the family Cambaridae.[1] It is endemic to tropical regions in the Pacific Coast of Mexico.[2] It lives in shallow lakes where oxygen is plentiful[3] and are the only decapod species in Mexico to live in waters 1,800 meters above sea level.[2] P. digueti is believed to be one of the oldest species of Mexican crayfish due to its unusually low genetic variability between organisms and geographical evidence.[2] It has experienced a greater amount of habitat loss than other crayfish species have in Mexico,[2] leading to a decline in its populations[3] and the IUCN Red List to deem it as an endangered species.[1]
