Will we be boiling crawfish all year long in the near future?
Crawfish boils are a mainstay of many spring weekends in Louisiana, but the boiler pots typically are put away for the summer.
LSU AgCenter aquaculture specialist Greg Lutz believes an alternative crawfish species native to Louisiana and found in the Atchafalaya basin and other waterways may someday have the pots boiling in the fall.
“This animal lays it eggs in the early spring and grows through the summer months,” Lutz said. “And it’s just about the right size for eating when football season rolls around.”
