Native crayfish

Native crayfish are a protected species – you can only trap them for scientific purposes and not to eat or sell.

To do this you need to register with Natural England and follow instructions on the class licence for white clawed crayfish.

In Wales contact Natural Resources Wales.

Crayfish trap rules

There are strict rules about the design and size of crayfish traps because they can harm other wildlife. If traps are the wrong size or design your application will be refused.

Traps must:

• be no wider than 350mm at the widest point
• an entrance no more than 95mm wide
• have mesh no bigger than 30mm at its widest point
• have EA identity tags

You must:

• tell EA or NRW about crayfish you trap using a catch return form (you get the form when you’re authorised)
• return species not covered by consent to the water they came from

We also supply the following spares:
