Reviewer 2 Report
I received a publication for review on "Invasive crayfish Faxonius limosus: Meat Safety, Nutritive Quality and Sensory Profile"; ijerph-2064252
The subject matter is interesting and the publication contains a lot of important information. However, I believe that it needs some improvements.
L: 202 - is deleted by mistake "s" in the word samples
L: 207 is "Table 1" should be "Table 2"
L: 223 is "Table 2" should be "Table 3"
L: 246 is "Table 3" should be "Table 4"
L: 250 is "Table 3" should be "Table 4"
L: 256 is "Table 3" should be "Table 4". In addition, there are no spaces after the word "Table"
In the Table: " Minerals and heavy metals of spiny-cheek crayfish meat", the full names of the elements should be deleted - the abbreviations are obvious and fully sufficient
L: 261: is "Table 3" should be "Table 4"
L: 270 In the description of the Table "s" in the word samples is deleted
Moreover, in the Table "Amino Acids profile of spiny-cheek crayfish meat in g/100g of samples" - amino acid names should be presented only as abbreviations
L: 312 is "Smietana et al." it should be "Śmietana et al."
L: 337 is "Śmeitana" should be "Śmietana et al."
L: 606 Item No. 58 ie Stanek et al. (2022) must be removed as it has not yet been published. It is undergoing substantive evaluation. Therefore, all text related to this reference should also be removed.
I believe the publication will be improved according to the guidelines and consequently published in IJERPH.

Reviewer 3 Report
This manuscript evaluated the safety parameters, nutritional value, and sensory profile of the meat from spiny-cheek crayfish, providing evidence for the eating of the aquatic invaders. However, the manuscript could be improved for publication.
1. The distribution and amount of spiny-cheek crayfish should be mentioned in the Introduction.
2. I suggest that the authors determine some parameters of the digestibility of spiny-cheek crayfish meat.
3. As the unit of the microbiological profile was log CFU/g meat, the data in Table were wrong. Besides, the authors wrote the unit in the wrong form of ‘long CFU/g’.
