Pheromones can be recognized by Procambarus clarkii in water for courtship. Clarifying the effective components of P. clarkii pheromones can provide a theoretical basis for green management of aquatic invasive P. clarkii. In this research, the effects of eight standard compounds, namely 4-thiouridine, bilirubin, ethinyl estradiol, 17α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate, N-acetyl-L-leucine, GTP disodium salt, and GDP disodium salt and GMP disodium salt, on the selection behavior of P. clarkii were tested using a Y-shaped water maze, and then screened for the eliciting effect of ethinyl estradiol and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate to prepare concentration assays. The results showed that the male P. clarkii showed nearly 50% selective response rate to 4-thiouridine, bilirubin, N-acetyl-L-leucine, GTP disodium salt, and GDP disodium salt and GMP disodium salt, with selection coefficients between ±0.15 and insignificant luring effects (P>0.05 ). P. clarkii showed high selection response rates to ethinyl estradiol (64.10%) and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (63.24%) with selection coefficients of 0.28 and 0.26, which showed significant sex differences. The minimum effective luring threshold of ethinyl estradiol and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate to male P. clarkii were 10 and 100 μmol/L, respectively, while female P. clarkii were not sensitive to both compounds. Thus, ethinyl estradiol and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate had significant luring effects on adult male P. clarkii but no significant response to female crayfish, which tentatively showed that ethinyl estradiol and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate were the active components of the sex pheromone in P. clarkii.
