Crayfish Funded Project
Description
The Crayfish Funded Project was chaired by Paul B. Brown. The
objectives of this funded project include:
- To complete a study of the status of the crayfish
industry in the north central states, relative to its
extent, culture operations in use, market characteristics,
and problems which need to be addressed by research.
- To complete a report on indigenous crayfish species
appropriate for culture in the North Central Region, to
include species life histories, ranges of distribution,
economic assessment of appropriate culture production
systems, a bibliography of pertinent literature, and a
summary of critical information gaps.
- To conduct preliminary trials evaluating the
performance of several promising indigenous species in pond
culture.
