  abstract = {{D}espite voluminous literature identifying the impacts of invasive species, summaries of monetary costs for some taxonomic groups remain limited. {I}nvasive alien crustaceans often have profound impacts on recipient ecosystems, but there may be great unknowns related to their economic costs. {U}sing the {I}nva{C}ost database, we quantify and analyse reported costs associated with invasive crustaceans globally across taxonomic, spatial, and temporal descriptors. {S}pecifically, we quantify the costs of prominent aquatic crustaceans - crayfish, crabs, amphipods, and lobsters. {B}etween 2000 and 2020, crayfish caused {US}$ 120.5 million in reported costs; the vast majority (99%) being attributed to representatives of {A}stacidae and {C}ambaridae. {C}rayfish-related costs were unevenly distributed across countries, with a strong bias towards {E}uropean economies ({US}$ 116.4 million; mainly due to the signal crayfish in {S}weden), followed by costs reported from {N}orth {A}merica , {A}sia. {T}he costs were also largely predicted or extrapolated , thus not based on empirical observations. {D}espite these limitations, the costs of invasive crayfish have increased considerably over the past two decades, averaging {US}$ 5.7 million per year. {I}nvasive crabs have caused costs of {US}$ 150.2 million since 1960 and the ratios were again uneven (57% in {N}orth {A}merica and 42% in {E}urope). {D}amage-related costs dom-inated for both crayfish (80%) and crabs (99%), with management costs lacking or even more under-reported. {R}e-ported costs for invasive amphipods ({US}$ 178.8 thousand) and lobsters ({US}$ 44.6 thousand) were considerably lower, suggesting a lack of effort in reporting costs for these groups or effects that are largely non-monetised. {D}espite the well-known damage caused by invasive crustaceans, we identify data limitations that prevent a full accounting of the economic costs of these invasive groups, while highlighting the increasing costs at several scales based on the avail-able literature. {F}urther cost reports are needed to better assess the true magnitude of monetary costs caused by invasive aquatic crustaceans.},
