America’s Crayfish: Crawling In Troubled Waters
"Rarely is a science video as artistically and beautifully produced as this introduction to crayfish."
Best Of Editors’ Choice 2000 - Jan 2001 Issue - BOOKLIST
"This informative presentation explains the importance of crayfish to the ecosystems they inhabit and why biologists are concerned with their future, and should therefore be of special interest to nature lovers, environmentalists, and fishing fans. Recommended. - J. McDaniel
July-August 2000 Issue - VIDEO LIBRARIAN
"Anyone who thinks crustaceans are boring should view this fascinating, exceptionally well crafted, beautifully videotaped introduction to the life cycle of the crayfish." - James Scholtz
July 2001 Issue - BOOKLIST
"I just received my DVD of America's Crayfish: Crawling In Troubled Waters. It is very nicely done and I think my 4th graders will really enjoy it. In the spring, we study the FOSS science unit: Structures of Life (bean sprouts and then crayfish). This is really a highlight of the year and kids do get very attached to "their" crayfish. I usually buy some Cajun Crayfish (pre-cooked) from a grocery store so they can taste them at the end of the unit. (Teachers freeze them at the end of the unit, or the custodian takes them home and eats them ;) We do have crayfish in the streams here in eastern Washington state, and sometimes kids catch them and bring them in to compare with the ones we buy from a distributor in the south. I will recommend this DVD to other teachers in the district because I think the information is really interesting for kids and easy to understand. Thank you."

Every time I watch this film and assign it to students, I'm struck by its quality and gorgeous way it tells of crayfish biology, ecology, and evolution, plus economic connections. After 20 years, Betty Wills' work still stands out. Kudos to Virginia Tech, US Fish & Wildlife, and everyone involved.

@justapediafoundation Месяц назад

Thank you, @TiaMurchieBeyma!! It does my heart good to know this program is still doing its job. The same for "Alligator Gar:Predator or Prey?" - when it first aired, it was the #1 Neilsen rated program of the evening during the July sweeps. Several people have commented over the years that it may have helped save those magnificent dinosaurs from going extinct. ~Betty Wills

In the 50's my cousins used to raise crayfish in a pond in a field,they raised them and sold them as bait in area of lake Erie.I was there for a harvest they both walked on opposite sides of pond bank dragging a net,at the end when they pulled out net with thousands of crayfish,they harvested a few hundred returned others and off to bait shop,they made a pretty good living what between the bait shop and a boarding house.

The crayfish (crawdads) we used to find in the creeks and streams of our area have pretty much vanished. The chief culprit has been the overuse of pesticides on farm fields. The pesticides excess pesticide residue washes into the creeks when it rains. The crayfish are very sensitive to it, and will die with even small amounts in the water. It's a sad thing. I miss seeing them and seeing there little burrows in the creek which runs through our farm.

@deepsleep7822 2 года назад

@mammaduck: so you have a farm. How much pesticides and herbicides are used on your farm?

@kenneth9874 Год назад

It's not just the pesticides, around here it's mostly miles of sugar cane, the ditches and sloughs used to be teeming with crawfish before they went all in for massive applications of herbicides along with pesticides, they're practically gone now

@Wastok Год назад

I don't know how to say this but crayfish also have very low tolerance for things like nitrate and ammonia in their water supply. Excess fertilizer washing into their habitat can kill them as well.

over 35 years ago i was in my local pet store buying dress water fish and i noticed a couple of Cray fish in one of the tanks i asked the owner how much are those guys and he replied i dont know i dont sell them they sometimes come in a big bundle of fish he told me if i wanted them he would give them to me for free i took them home and put them both in a 10 gallon tank i had laying around after a few weeks my wife noticed a large growth on one of the Cray fish belly it was eggs and when they began hatching i put a plexiglass divider in the tank to separate the adults we wound up having over 100 healthy Cray fish in the tank unfortunately we had to move over 1000 miles and we had no good way of transporting the tank and the contents so i gave the setup away to a neighbor that had children that were ver fascinated by the tank it was funny back then i couldn’t get much information on raising them i n a tank environment so i kind of made it up as we went along i did however learn they were good escape artists and would often climb out of the tank and walk accross my living room floor which i lived in South Florida at the time and one evening i thought it was a Scorpian coming accross the room in low light lol

Its a strange quirk of UK law that you are not legally allowed to catch the invasive American Crayfish but if you do you cannot release them back into the waterway If you catch them you can be fined and it you release them back into the water you can be fined and imprisoned.

Such a great , informative video. Guy's , I've been catching and eating crawdad's for over 45 years. In creeks , small rivers and lakes. I have only ever kept the big ones and never , EVER kept a female with eggs. These creatures , along with the NW crabs , I've always looked out for and tried to do my part in protecting them. I've caught thousands , just to let them go , because catching them was the fun part. I grew up out in the country , but have caught plenty in towards the city , and I have seen what pollution has done to some of these awesome animals. It truly saddens me on some of the things I've seen , when actually having to catch them for testing by the DEQ. The Crawdads are so important in the way the life of a stream , river or lake. I hope that anyone that reads this.......take care of these guys! Keep / eat only the big ones , and let the females with eggs go. Take it from a guy who has been around these things his entire life. They are super important!

And females with eggs are released. It's a good way to help preserve the species. Lol catching the bigger ones by hand can be a challenge. I've bled more than once!

Back in the 1980s I went scuba diving in Lake Tahoe, the water was crystal clear and all you could see on the Sandy Bottom was crawdads forever. There was literally like one crawdad every square yard. We collected hundreds if not thousands of them and had a jambalaya. Each tail cooked down to what was about the size of a small shrimp.

They literally are the lobster of rivers, lakes and ponds. They can be found in shallow ditches and sometimes at big mud puddles. They will even dig holes and make mounds so they can survive a drought and wait for rain, so you can even find them in dry fields or places you wouldn't expect.

12 years ago, a biology teacher at a local middle school had some Louisiana crayfish as an exhibit. After they spawned, he had too many in his tank so...... he and some of the kids released he excess into the neighborhood lake. Now how could a BIOLOGY teacher be so stupid? Anyway, they took over the lake and the native crayfish were facing extinction. But locals noticed the lake environment going south pretty quickly and found out about the invasive pest. Our local fisheries folks set up a course to identify the critter, and issued permits for year long harvest if a person takes the identification course. We were pulling traps with literally hundreds of invasive crayfish in them two years ago. Now we catch a few a year (meaning individual trappers, there are still quite a few around), and the native crays are making a comeback (though still in low numbers). The lake ecology is improving even more slowly, but it IS improving. And we will be trapping invasive crays for the rest of time. DON"T SPREAD THEM AROUND!!!!! And, oh, by the way, nice informational vid. Thank you.

In my home state of Wisconsin, we had what I call "Rusty Crayfish Hysteria". Yes, the DNR fish shocking crew would kill the native crayfish because the shocking crew had been brainwashed thinking every crayfish was a rusty crayfish. Now we have three species, probably more, on Wisconsin's Endangered List that depended on the native crayfish's burrow for the place of hibernation over our long, cold Winters. The three species are the Blanchard's Cricket Frog, Massasauga Rattlesnake, and the Hine's Emerald Dragonfly. Now with eDNA the US Fish and Wildlife and DNR could test every stream and river in Wisconsin for the native crayfish who built the burrows and the three Endangered Species. Please let me know if you have your employees using eDNA to restore Endangered Species instead of your employees with a Master Degree selling T-shirts at your stores? P.S. Yes a US Fish and Wildlife scientist with a master degree was selling T-shirts instead of being out in the field restoring our Endangered Species with a great tool, eDNA testing. Thank you for your fast reply.

Thank you so much for your enlightening information! Even though crayfish have always been a part of my life from catching them in ponds and streams of Northern Illinois where I grew up I found something in your work to reveal just how important this "simple" creature really is as an indicator of environmental conditions. When I had my business creating and maintaining both natural and artificial ponds in San Diego and other counties to the north in California. I also modified minnow traps to capture hundreds of crayfish as they were destructive to the ornamental aquatic plants that I introduced. Waste not and want not! I loved eating every single crayfish that I ever caught! Then in the "El Nino during the 1990's here in California riparian areas were inundated with more rainfall than had been experienced for many, many years. Crayfish habitat extended over huge areas adjacent to riparian areas. Unfortunately this also brought gigantic amounts of pollutants into these "normal" ecologically balanced riparian habitats. Because I offered my services to the more wealthy people in riparian corridors of Rancho Santa Fe and Olievenhein California ponds were susceptible to incredible pollution due to run-off from horse stables up-stream. This spelled a disaster not only to the crayfish but any other fishes in these ponds and streams. Only the most wealthy could own property which included part of a major river corridor! And only the most wealthy would abuse this "privalage"! This is so very, very sad in addition considering how we continue to abuse our planet just by our universally terrible habits of waste and abuse! None of us would be able to relinquish responsibility for what we have done to this Earth! There is none to blame but ourselves. Yes, the lowly Crawfish could teach us a thing or two!

@jackkennedy9475 Год назад

Never knew of crayfish in San Diego’s riparian corridors. It figures the progressives in California that claim to want to conserve are the ones not. I see this all the time. Our neighbors flight private, don’t recycle, compost or much of anything to conserve our resources. Shame only virtue signaling via buying carbon offsets instead of conserving.
