Louisiana State University Professor Greg Lutz has studied crawfish species and the industry for 30 years. The hope is that another type of crawfish - also grown in fresh water -can inflate the season and help bail out Louisiana's Gulf coast seafood industry, maimed by the fuel.
"We are looking at attempting to amplify the crawfish season," he said. "We are looking at another means of growing them and we are looking at one alternative species that may be obtainable in a different time of the annual."
Here at LSU's Aquaculture Research Station in Baton Rouge, in its ponds and tanks, Lutz is studying variant original crawfish.
"This is that alternative species of crawfish,

When they're full grown, they can be up to ten centimeters long.
"A female this size right here could have approximately 300 eggs, perhaps 400,
abercrombie and fitch," he said.
Lutz is too studying native factories that would be best suited as the shrimp crawfish's chief source of food.
"All of these pools have different combinations of plant that we are analytical and they all have newborn shrimp crawfish," annotated Greg Lutz.
He says if all works right,
piumini moncler, in 2 or 3 years shrimp crawfish could become mercantile.
"So we have a native crawfish and native vegetation and hopefully we can enlarge the product season for crawfish makers,

"Everybody eats crawfish, even turkeys,

In truth,

But if the research yields results,
