Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a small but useful book - a bare bones 'how-to' manual on how to raise crayfish in a small country setting. It is a factual compilation of years of University and industry findings as well as individual research on aquaculture of the freshwater crayfish. Prepared in a number of tasty ways, freshwater crayfish are highly regarded as a delicacy both here and abroad. They are very similar to lobster and shrimp in taste and texture, and are an excellent source of high-quality low-fat protein. Targeting the small farmer or backyard hobbyist, this book outlines specific guidelines for pond construction and efficiency, food and environmental needs, and marketing, sale and processing of the best species of crayfish for culturing purposes.
