Discussion

Observational analysis reveals that sex ratio doesn't affect reproduction in crayfish, suggesting male mate selection is key.

Sex ratio does not influence fecundity or fertility in Montezuma dwarf crayfish under controlled conditions.
Fertilization rates exceeded 50%, indicating that courtship and mate selection matter more than sex ratio.
The study involved acclimatization of wild crayfish in recirculating aquaculture systems with varying sex ratios.
Environmental factors and selection of quality breeders are critical for optimizing reproductive success in crayfish.

García-Olvera et al. (2025) studied this question.
