Procambarus digueti

Procambarus digueti is a species of fresh water crayfish in the genus Procambarus and in the family Cambaridae.

[2] It is endemic to tropical regions in the Pacific Coast of Mexico.

[3] It lives in shallow lakes where oxygen is plentiful[4] and are the only decapod species in Mexico to live in waters 1,800 meters above sea level.

[3] 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.

[3] It has experienced a greater amount of habitat loss than other crayfish species have in Mexico,[3] leading to a decline in its populations[4] and the IUCN Red List to deem it as an endangered species.
