The answer depends on the geographic location of where the word is used.

In the United States, freshwater crayfish are small (<2oz.)and are also known synonymously as 'crawfish' and 'crawdads'. Saltwater crayfish are known as lobsters.

However, In Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, the term crayfish or cray generally refers to a saltwater spiny lobster, of the genus Jasus that is indigenous to much of southern Oceania, while the freshwater species are usually called yabby or koura, from the Indigenous Australian and Māori names for the animal respectively.

What happens when crayfish get to big for there shell?

When crayfish outgrow their shells, they undergo a process called molting, where they shed their old exoskeleton to allow for growth. During this process, the crayfish may become vulnerable to predators, as it takes time for the new shell to harden. After molting, the crayfish will gradually develop a larger, more robust exoskeleton. This cycle of growth and molting is essential for their survival and development.
