Isn't this kind of research illegal? Because the results usually are. (I say as someone who used to own marbled crayfish[1]) [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marbled_crayfish

Interesting, they forbid to 'breed' it but that's apparently not really how it works for these particular animals. A single individual will be happy to reproduce without any breeding taking place and there isn't much that you could do to stop it short of killing the creature.

But is it because of the origin, or rather the invasive species status?
