Abstract
Checking for crayfish in rivers can be a time consuming, and, if crayfish plague is suspected, a possibly damaging process. Where otters are present on crayfish rivers, exoskeleton remains are found in otter faeces (spraints). Checking for crayfish in spraints is both quick, and where crayfish plague is suspected, does not require water contact, so reducing the chances of accidental contamination by infected sampling equipment.
