A View of Crawfish Farming The photos on this page show some of the processes a crawfish farmer goes through when trapping and harvesting crawfish. There are many different trap types and ways of harvesting. These pictures show how trapping and harvesting are done at the LSU AgCenter's Aquaculture Research Station.  [Image: photo of aerators working in a crawfish pond] [Image: photo of an aerator working in a crawfish pond] [Image: photo of a crawfish trap with bait inside it] [Image: a photo of a pyramid crawfish trap out of the water] [Image: photo of a row of crawfish traps in a pond] [Image: photo of a crawfish trap with entrance holes marked with foam markers] [Image: photo of farmers in a flat bottom boat collecting crawfish from the pond] [Image: photo of farmers with the crawfish catch in a bag and disposing of used bait] [Image: photo of baitfish used for crawfish traps] [Image: photo of artificial bait sometimes used in crawfish traps]
