Shrimp Crawfish

I love shrimp. I love crawfish. Until I ran across this I had never heard of a shrimp crawfish, even though I have eaten both for over 60 years. I guess it's just a smaller mudbug crawfish...

Quote:
An LSU professor is now exploring just that possibility. The Associated Press reports that Greg Lutz, an aquaculture specialist at the university's agriculture center, is experimenting with raising shrimp crawfish, a slightly smaller cousin to the red swamp and white river crawfish Louisianians are accustomed to. Shrimp crawfish also work on a different reproductive clock, laying their eggs in Spring and becoming full sized in October and November.

If you ever get "down under", have some "bugs" - an odd-looking crustation that tastes a bit like a cross between cold-water lobster and crayfish.

We had them last year:

Can they thrive on crude oil? Wouldn't it be great if they could.

Fortunately for all of those that love to eat mud bugs - they are fresh water critters.
