Crayfish

60% percent of all crawfish produced in U.S. comes from Louisiana

They can eat it or sell them to make profits!!

it is the antenna, antennule, rostrum, and the maxillipeds (feeding appendages).

Crawfish maintain homeostasis primarily through osmoregulation, which involves regulating the balance of water and solutes in their bodies. They have specialized gills that help in the exchange of ions and water, allowing them to adapt to varying salinity levels in their aquatic environments. Additionally, crawfish can adjust their behavior, such as seeking out appropriate habitats or altering their activity levels, to maintain optimal internal conditions. This adaptability ensures their survival in diverse habitats.

I decided to answer this question because nobody had answered it yet and i thought it might be helpful well here is my story...

my friend and i were playing at a creek and i found a crayfish and i picked it up. the crayfish had dozens of baby crayfish hanging onto her well.. err... um ...butt. two of the babys fell off and were caried down sream we put the momma back and raced down the creek to find them when we did we took them back to her house and she kpt one and i kept the other. i named mine Loki (cute huh) i was debating Sparta but decided not to. we looked up some stuff on line and this is what we found the most helpful

What they eat:

dried seeweed

shrimp

krill

fish food

turtle food

and finely chopped veggies (when there older.)

Habbitat:

if your going to keep a crayfish do not i repeat do not house them together. Believe me i found out the hard way... poor Toki(lokis brother) ... sniff sniff oh well bad things can happen.

You should house a single adult crayfish in a ten gallon tank or bigger. as for housing them with other animals that is a no no the crayfish will kill anything it can get its hands on... um claws on i guess.

well overall crayfish make good pets ill tell you how lokis doin if you type in the question how is loki doing ill update you in a couple of days now

5. Bait your trap and you are ready to fish!

one way to determine the gender of a crayfish is to look at the first 2 pairs of swimmerets. The males are longer and prong shaped

Crayfish are decapods which means ten feet. They have ten feet including their claws.

the crayfish have little sensors in its body and it regulates its body temp to the water

Yes, they do. In fact, when they do, it looks like pieces of a whole new crawdad. I know this because there is a crawdad I caught from a stream across my street, and I am watching it shed its skin.

about 5in.

Generally the first two swimmerets of the male crayfish are significantly larger than the rest. The swimmerets of the females are usually all the same size.

They get about 2.5 inches so i dont have a worry that theyll get to big for a small tank.

I found a recently dead (still smelled pretty bad) fiddler crab on the beach in front of my condo (Daytona area) this morning (sept 20, 2010). The body was at least 3 inches across and the big claw extended about 6 inches from the body. I had eaten a one pound lobster the day before and the fiddler's claw was almost as large as the lobster. I took a picture of the thing, Maybe I can up load it.... No, evidently not.

As crabs have an exoskeleton, they shed their shell when growing. If the shell is hollow then do not worry your crabs just grown a little bit bigger! Crabs are notoriously good escape artist, so it’s not uncommon to find them dried up outside of the aquarium.

Add your seasoning, lemons, and onions to the water. Bring to boil. Stir crawfish into boiling water, boil for 5-10 minutes, add your frozen corn, sausage and fresh red potatoes, let soak for 25-30 minutes. Drain water and enjoy.

Louisiana is typically given that title, although it is disputed.

if it is not a saltwater lobster it would shrink due to osmosis. The water would be technically sucked out and the lobster would dehydrate

Sea gulls and Pelicans prey upon saltwater crabs.

If you leave it where they can get at it, sure. This by no means a cat should eat raw cheesecake. Cheesecake is made up of a large quantity of dairy and sugar which neither are good for the cat's health - many cats can not digest dairy products well and can could vomiting or diarrhea.

Crayfish can hear, but they do not have ears, so they do not hear in the usual sense. Our ears pick up vibrations via the eardrum and tiny bones in our ears, but crayfish have thousands of sensory bristles. Some of these sensory bristles respond to chemicals, others to touch, but either way, they enable te crayfish to not only hear, but also to smell and feel.

There are several species of crayfish in Australia, including the red claw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus and the yabbie, C. destructor. The world's largest crayfish, which can grow to almost 7 pounds, is Astacopsis gouldi, found in Tasmania.

Yes, but it may or may not be healthy.

Crayfish tend to breed at around 32 days old. They are breed very early on in life because they typically do not have a long lifespan.

The tail and pinchers. Some people eat them guts and all, but I wouldn't recommend it.
