RE: Dissected Freshwater Lobster/Crayfish (#sciencepic, slightly graphic)

in #sciencepic6 years ago

I wonder if that variety has cannibalistic tendencies, one of the challenges of farming freshwater crays in intensive setups is that they eat the molting ones that have soft shells. Makes it hard to rear them in captivity unless you provide heaps of shelter or separate each one which is not economical.

Sort:  

Actually yes! Several arrived missing limbs or having weirdly smaller limbs than they should. Little cannibals those.
