Talk:Procambarus clarkii

Untitled

I removed reference to the rusty crayfish. That term refers to a different species that survives in much colder conditions and may well deserve it's own page.Dmccabe 03:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Ohio?

In Ohio? Really? Where would one go in Ohio if looking for one?

Washington

Strangely I saw one in WA yesterday - in Pine Lake in Sammamish, WA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xyzzer (talk • contribs) 14:20, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Stats

The production statistics appear to conflict: "...China, which is now the world's leading producer of crawfish" vs "Louisiana in 1990 produced 90% of the crawfish in the world". Possibly the latter statistic is out of date? Dave.Dunford (talk) 09:35, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

as food

The claim that "Louisiana produced 90% of the crayfish in the world and consumed 70%" is ludicrous. China produces and consumes approximately 600,000 tons annually, and consumes most of it domestically. There are 1.2 billion people here and most of them can't wait for xiao long xia season to open. My Chinese is unfortunately not good enough to come up with references at this time, but I'll be back later. The Louisiana claim is totally in error. 210.22.142.82 (talk) 06:57, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

An error perhaps, but one that is beneficial to the USA public's perception of domestic crayfish industries. 172.56.51.46 (talk) 19:27, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

He's baaack ! Okay, a couple of references :

http://www1.american.edu/TED/crawfish.htm

http://www1.american.edu/TED/craychin.htm

and an interesting aside, apparently in England it can be labelled homegrown if the water the meat is frozen in is from England ? Eek

http://www.crayaway.com/chinaimport.htm

Anyway, this is relevant enough to add to the article - or at least to the general crayfish article. But not by me, I'm not up to more international wars.

Also, on the references to the fact that crawdads are not a common dish in China; that was perhaps true in 1990. But nowadays they are very common, with five crawdad restaurants within two blocks of my house. (Downtown Shanghai.) I know, personal observation, but should be able to verify that in other ways. At any rate, crawdads are very common and very popular nowadays in China. 210.22.142.82 (talk) 11:53, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
