There is a fear that the native crayfish could also be affected.

"Julia Stansfield, fish, recreation and biodiversity officer for the Environment Agency said: ‘We are really concerned about the risk that this disease, if present, could spread to other rivers and wipe out populations of native crayfish. We urge all river users to clean and dry or disinfect any equipment that has been in the Waveney recently before using it in any other river. A few careless acts could lead to the loss of this fascinating species from East Anglia"
