While farm raised crawfish dominate the marketplace, there are several operations remaining that venture out into the swamps and bayous of Louisiana for wild crawfish. According to statistics gathered by Louisiana State University's Agricultural Center for the 2004-2005 season, almost 74 million pounds came from farms, while a little more than 8 million pounds came from licensed crawfisherman. In other words, less than ten percent of all the crawfish originating from the State were sourced from traps in the wild, mostly the Atchafalaya River Basin.

The article is a bit dated but not THAT much has changed in 5 years. Well, except this year was a terrible year for production with the farmers. At least in my area the pounds harvested were WAY down.

But they should have or 2-3 really good years after the flood shouldn't they?

Also, it's seasonal so what happens this year won't necessarily affect next. Farmers flood up in October for the "seed" crawfish to emerge and release babies.
Ever see a crawfish walking with it's tail up and loaded with itty bitty baby crawfish? EACH female carries under her tail the equivalent of ONE sack.

Crawfish were EVERYWHERE when they opened it in 73.
I'd imagine it won't hurt it too much.

This was the first thing that went through my mind when they said they were opening the flood gates. I had a lot of fun when I was younger picking these suckers off the backroads in New Olreans East... back behind Jazzland.

Canal that ran behind the bowling alley on Bullard was pretty good.
