Title: CRAYFISH / CRAWFISH.Chumphonburi Surin/Satuek Buriram Area
Post by: BKK CHRIS on November 05, 2010, 05:46:23 AM
Sawadee...Can anyone tell me if crayfish have penetrated the waterway system in this area.
I have spent many hours over the last 4 years fishing with my two Thai brothers in law in this area but have never caught one or even seen anyone catch any.I have used home made Thai traps but to no avail despite them being baited with everything I can think of.
Cheers
Chris

Can't help you with Crayfish but a long time Pattaya resident American recently contracted 'crabs' after connecting rods with a young Pattaya lady

Crayfish

Crayfish, crawfish, or crawdads – members of the superfamilies Astacoidea and Parastacoidea – are freshwater crustaceans resembling small lobsters, to which they are related. They breathe through feather-like gills and are found in bodies of water that do not freeze to the bottom; they are also mostly found in brooks and streams where there is fresh water running, and which have shelter against predators. Most crayfish cannot tolerate polluted water, although some species such as the invasive Procambarus clarkii are more hardy. Crayfish feed on living and dead animals and plants.

In Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, the term crayfish or cray generally refers to a saltwater spiny lobster, of the genus Jasus that is indigenous to much of southern Oceania, while the freshwater species are usually called yabby or koura, from the Indigenous Australian and Māori names for the animal respectively. An exception is the Murray crayfish found on the Murray River.

The study of crayfish is called astacology.
