I'm not a crawfish farmer, but I've always wondered if restaurants trying to serve boiled crawfish seemingly earlier and earlier every year isn't part of the problem.

You have places starting to advertise the stuff in mid-January for fricks sake.

That where the issue seems to be. Naturally crawfish start reaching maturity March-April, but crawfish/rice farmers will flood the fields in October/November to have an earlier artificial season. But with the drought and colder weather it was harder for the crawfish to become viable.

They are responding to what customers are asking for. That, and Texas people having discovered crawfish, is messing with demand.
