A review of juvenile redclaw crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus (von Martens, 1898) production in aquaculture
Published Online: 4/27/2020
Abstract
The Australian Redclaw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus, has been the subject of aquaculture development for more than three decades. Farm production from Australia and from around the world for this species has been relatively low, as suitable production technology continues to develop. The production of redclaw juveniles for the purpose of stocking to ponds for on-growing to marketable size, has been a particular constraint and new approaches to breeding and mass production of craylings have provided renewed impetus to industry expansion. This paper reviews the literature concerning redclaw juvenile production and provides a status report of current practices and innovations that may support further expansion of redclaw aquaculture.
