re: 2016 should be a good year for crawfish BUT

Although the crawfish should be big and plentiful, don’t expect to see much of a drop in price. Collette explains that more people will be fishing for crawfish to make a living due to fewer jobs in the oil industry.

From the most simple, basic principles of economics, this makes absolutely zero fricking sense. More competition means lower prices. More supply means lower prices. When you have more people competing with you, you don't increase the price to make your product more attractive than your competition. The only way that is even possible is if they are colluding on the prices.

These crawfish farmer fricks search for any nonsensical reason to keep the prices high. Sure, charge higher prices on your products if you don't want to sell all of your product, and you want to make less money.
