Between this and the oversized, invasive Italian blue crabs, it seems like we could get an OT seafood import business off the ground. I got five on it.

when Spain’s Supreme Court added the red swamp crayfish to the country’s Catalog of Invasive Alien Species, effectively banning its commercial sale and the possession of live specimens.


Is this to prevent people from bringing in new specimens? I feel like you should be allowed to hunt and kill as many wild ones as you’d like.

However, I have heard of farmers/ranchers bringing in more pigs to certain areas to increase revenue if hunting leases/access for hog hunts.

Thank you for that.
I had wondered how our local seafood 'shack' always had Spanish Crawfish and they tasted and cooked like what I'd buy (back in the day) in NOLA.

Sounds like the Spaniards aren't having enough crawfish boils!

Pretty good idea to bring something to the area once spaghetti westerns weren't being shot there anymore.

Until their government swooped in and made their livelihood illegal, later backing off a little and just highly regulating the entire industry. I bet those regs include hefty fees and taxes for “restoring the wetlands”. Translated, that means making people other than the ones doing the work rich. “

I’m with the government and I’m here to save you”.
