There are a couple hundred different species of crayfish, but the one most commonly eaten in the US is the red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), about 95% of which come from Louisiana.
There are several types of crayfish, primarily categorized into two main families: Cambaridae and Astacidae. Cambaridae, commonly known as freshwater crayfish, are found in North America and parts of Asia, while Astacidae, or true crayfish, are primarily found in Europe and North America. Within these families, there are numerous species, including the red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) and the signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus), each adapted to different habitats and environmental conditions. Crayfish vary in size, color, and behavior, making them diverse and ecologically important organisms in freshwater ecosystems.
