Crayfish aquaculture

Crayfish aquaculture involves raising freshwater crayfish in controlled environments for commercial use, such as food or bait. It typically takes place in ponds, tanks, or raceways, where water quality, temperature, and feeding are carefully managed to optimize growth and health. Farmers monitor crayfish populations, prevent diseases, and control predators. Proper aquaculture practices help ensure sustainable production, reduce environmental impacts, and meet market demand. The process offers a valuable alternative to wild harvesting, supporting local economies and providing a nutritious protein source.
