“There are some ponds that are already producing really well for this time of the year,” said LSU AgCenter aquaculture specialist Dr. Greg Lutz, adding that a decent crop could mean good prices for consumers. “I think the typical consumer approach to crawfish is: Can I get it and can I afford it? And I think the answer to both of those questions will be ‘yes’ this year.”
What happens in the summer affects the outcome of the spring’s crawfish crop. Dry summers have devastated the crawfish industry in the past, but this summer stayed wet enough to encourage good survival and reproduction in the crawfish burrows.
