The following article discusses calcium and water hardness requirements for crawfish, benefits and limitations of liming, and where to get your water and soil tested to determine if lime is required for your crawfish pond(s). http://text.lsuagcenter.com/en/crops_livestock/aquaculture/crawfish/Water+Quality++Management/Liming+Crawfish+Ponds.htm RRomaire@agcenter.lsu.edu (Robert P.

Pumping water costs money. Although there is really no way to get around these facts, we can take action to minimize pumping costs. http://text.lsuagcenter.com/en/crops_livestock/aquaculture/crawfish/Water+Quality++Management/Reducing+Crawfish+Pumping+Costs.htm RSheffield@agcenter.lsu.edu (Ron Sheffield) http://text.lsuagcenter.com/NR/rdonlyres/C1D9B0A6-E593-433B-85DC-4CBEF58FDD7D/46297/PumpCurve.JPG
