Nation Valley News reports that Ontario is moving to the next phase of a process that could result in the regulation of Marmorkrebs in the province, along with twelve other aquatic species.
The first round of consultation identified “no significant concerns” of regulating Marmorkrebs.
A ban on Marmorkrebs in Ontario would arguably be the most significant regulatory action in North America yet implemented. Ontario is Canada’s most populous province. It’s also one of the largest single jurisdictions in terms of size in North America. Currently, Marmorkrebs are routinely available in the pet trade.
Louisiana red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) are also on the list. This crayfish would get an exception for its use as food.
