Crawfish Production: Production Systems and Forages
Crawfish aquaculture relies on control of pond hydrology to simulate optimal wet and dry conditions occurring in natural riverine and wet-land habitats. Crawfish grow and mature during the wet or flooded cycle and survive the dry periods by digging burrows.
Forages and Forage Management
This document is Chapter 5 in the Louisiana Crawfish Production Manual. The chapter discusses forage selection and management recommendations for monocropping and rotational cropping systems, the benefits and limitations of cultivated and noncultivated forages, recommended planting dates and post-flood management of the forage crop.
