CNgo2006 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hi guys, After a little research I found that self cloning crayfish babies are a great live foods alternative. SO my question is are they legal to keep in Australia? Cheers Chi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ophelia Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/aquaculture/publications/species-freshwater/freshwater-crayfish---aquaculture-prospects "Many European countries have had their crayfish stocks destroyed by the so-called "crayfish plague", caused by fungus Aphanomyces astaci. It originated in the United States and spread to Europe with introduced crayfish. This fungus is not present in Australia, but tests have shown that if it were to reach Australia it would destroy many of our crayfish stocks. To stop this fungus destroying our unique crayfish fauna, the import of crayfish into Australia has been prohibited." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
