In this study, antioxidant radical scavenging capacity and total carotenoid content in the meat and shells of <italic>Pontastacus leptodactylus</italic> were investigated. Concerning the antioxidant scavenging effect, the highest IC50 values were found to be 388.77 mg g-1 and 155.53 mg g-1 for females and males in July and March, respectively. The mean IC50 values of the meat were calculated as 239.83 mg g-1 and 105.21 mg g-1 for females and males, respectively. The mean total carotenoid content in the meat was found to be 14.35 and 12.78 μg g-1 for females and males, respectively. The results indicated that crayfish meat had antioxidant radical scavenging capacity and was rich in carotenoid content.
