Rice farmers like Mike Frugé of Cajun Crawfish in Louisiana figured out that the two year growing cycle of crawfish synced perfectly with the two year cycle of the rice crop. He shows us how his rice fields are seeded with baby crawfish every other year, creating a new source of food and income for farmers in the area.

One way to sort the juveniles is at the site. Instead of a flat surface where they dump the crawfish on that little boat’s table they should install the rollers there with the separation to let the juveniles through as they push the market size ones to the chutes. Underneath the rolled you install a catch basin also with chutes and slides all the way to the water (imagine something like mufflers coming out to the water from the sides. This will not only separate the juveniles at harvest but will also imply less manipulation of the animals (better survival) and easier work. I’m an aquaculture advisor by the way, stumbled upon this video and watched it. Pretty cool operation.

@havsumora Год назад

Cool story! I love the symbiotic farming. Did not know this existed!

@UncleKenInAz Год назад

@@fersal72 I think they said they will drain the field after harvesting the crawfish, so the juveniles would die if they were put back in the same paddy. They go in a NEW field to grow as the rice does.

@fersal72 Год назад

@@UncleKenInAz true. Even easier then, instead of chutes going down back into the water then you put totes under the roller sorter to catch the juveniles sorted and then release them in the new pond. I guess the point is to try and sort at the site to avoid extra handling and labour. Cheers.

@0623kaboom 2 года назад

tell them they can auto seed from the sorter ... with a large pipe (about 10 inches) and use water pressure to move them to the filed and then a watering line with a corkscrew like used in a grain silo to move them along the watering line and drop them every so often through holes back into the new pond ... sure they have to setup the pipe track each harvest but that just becomes prep work and the watering line if it stretches across the field doesnt harm the field ... no more retransporting the seedlings . they may want to look into clam farming too or even escargot farming as well ... increase their yield for the same size fields triple and quadruple harvest each plot ...

@jeremyhebert890 2 года назад

@@0623kaboom Problem is, that is just one crawfish pond that is close to the crawfish plant. Many crawfish ponds are several miles away from the plant and are not next to each other.

@mrjujuice5484 2 года назад

@@0623kaboom I'd assume they have multiple rice fields that span multiple acres. they'd have to have piping everywhere. They could, however, make a machine to attach to a trailer and load in the crawfish and shoot them out. But that'd be a lot of pressure required to spread them. IT could also kill them based on the impact.

I'm 74 years old and the 4th generation to produce rice and crawfish on our family farm several miles west of the Fruge' operation. This was a very good video. Quite informative and accurate. Before outsiders "discovered" how delicious crawfish were, we had them all to ourselves. In the old days Momma and I waded the crawfish pond with #3 washtubs tied to our belts. We lifted flat square cotton nets baited with beef melt or chicken necks. Momma strapped a 22 cal. pistol to her hip to shoot poisonous snakes. Today we cover hundreds more acres using land-friendly airboats. Our best fields can yield 1,000 lbs per acre in a season.

Dear Sir, Am sorry for can you help teach me. when we put small crawfish to rice fields so how long we can get it back? and how we can catch all of this from rice fields. Many thanks for your help reply

@chipkyle5428 2 года назад

@@sothearithuy4704 We rotate rice and crawfish land-use each year. Mature (mated) crawfish are taken from the crawfish pond and put into the growing rice crop. After the rice field is harvested it is flooded to become next year's crawfish pond. The mature crawfish we had put in the rice field will reproduced to provide the new crop of crawfish to catch. It takes 3 or 4 months for the small, hatched crawfish to be big enough to catch. We repeat this cycle year after year. Crawfish, Rice, Crawfish, Rice, Crawfish, Rice. We use the same traps as seen in this video.

@patricksanders858 2 года назад

Also, the crawdads eat small bugs and larvae of flying insects like mosquitos. This also provides crawdad manure, which feeds the rice and provides a carbon sink. The ducks come in and do the same thing. Other avians also walk through the marshy fields and mash down plant material into the soil enriching the fields. This is called permaculture. The Vietnamese do the same thing but with tilapia, ducks and rice.

@@emarokan Chickens have a very limited number of taste receptor. They completely lack the one of capsaicin. But if I had to guess adding spices to their diet its probably beneficial (healthier chickens).

Great ideas about two crops. Many years ago I was trucking and stopped at a restaurant named "Camps". I think. In Buras La. Our first feed of crawfish. As we stumbled through our pound of crawfish, we watched another couple slay a five pound platter and then another before we had finished our one pound. We also were told to crush the head and suck on it. The tail and then the head. Was good. A memorable night in Buras. Won't forget that place!!

@hooktraining3966 2 года назад

@@jacobjohnson8773 they are a good size. crawfish are basically lying to us all the time. You think you want big ones but the bigger they are the thicker the shell. Sacks of crawfish are sold by weight and you end up with a larger shell to meat ratio with large crawfish.

@davidparadis490 2 года назад

We used to buy a 50 pound sack and dump it in the bathtub...run some water, dump in salt to purge the mud, then get to cooking...first you had boiled crawfish. Then we would peel the rest and bag them for the freezer, then we would be able to enjoy fried crawfish, crawfish gumbo, and crawfish etoufee and sautéed crawfish for many suppers...man, I miss living in Louisiana.

@jacobmccain8082 2 года назад
