Culture methods are relatively simple compared to those for other aquatic animals. Crawfish culture can fit well with farm management plans because it uses marginal lands, existing labor and farm equipment during off-peak farming periods. http://text.lsuagcenter.com/en/crops_livestock/aquaculture/crawfish/Pond+Construction/Crawfish+Production+Production+Economics+Pond+Construction+and+Water+Supply.htm GLutz@agcenter.lsu.edu (C.

Proper design and construction give the crawfish farmer better control over flooding, drainage, forage management, water circulation and harvesting.
