but I mean why are they only trapped and consumed in Louisiana?
They need some really shitty, hot weather to produce at the rate that makes them marketable....Louisiana has a unique combination of the right conditions (i.e. temperature and readily available ground water) and the right sales market to make it profitable. In most other parts of the country, other agricultural products are more profitable.

Crawfish demand is spreading. You can find crawfish festivals in Hot Springs and Pensacola, and Houston restaurants are all over them. Even more far flung places, from California to North Carolina, are flying them in by the ton.
Is there any commercial farming of them in South Texas? It seems they have the climate and flat land for it, and demand there is high.

The guy we stay with in New Mexico when we hunt elk has multiple ponds on his land and is obsessed with us "cajuns". I kid you not, he built his own crawfish traps and catches them in the same pond as rainbow trout. I have no idea which species, but he sure does catch and eat them.

I’m talking like upper Mobile Bay
well R&R seafood on the causeway is constantly bringing in tons of live crawfish, i'd assume they aren't coming from LA, but right behind them in Mobile Bay

I cant speak to then specifically, but I've boiled crawfish a handful of times in south Alabama and every time the crawfish was from LA even though it was purchased in south Alabama.

Interesting... I certainly don't know for sure, I just always assumed they were local

crawfish festivals in Hot Springs
I go fishing with my wife's Grandfather, two uncles, and FIL on Lake Ouchita and crawfish are in high demand there for bass bait.
Ark. Wildlife and Fisheries implemented a new regulation that crawfish (they call them "crawdads") have to come from the same watershed that you are fishing in.

red swamp crawfish's natural Southern range is from central, oklahoma in the north and south to the rio grande, easternmost range is virginia down to florida. So pretty much the entire South.
though they've spread all over the country apparently and are wrecking shite up.
