Incidental aquaculture in California's rice paddies : red swamp crawfish

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
Introduction of the red swamp crawfish, Procambarus clarkii, into California and its diffusion throughout northern California's rice paddies created the conditions for an incidental aquaculture economy in a landscape devoted to irrigated grain production. For more than three decades, fisher-men have harvested this prolific invader and sold their catch to Europe and the Gulf Coast. Since 2004, the diffusion of Vietnamese-American seafood restaurants to California and nationally has created additional markets for red swamp crawfish.
