August 16, 2024

$6 Crayfish are freshwater crustaceans, distantly related to the lobster. Their aquatic impact is significant and fascinating, yet their profile and presence remain mysterious to many Idahoans. Using broad-based information and scientific resources, this guide spotlights the basics about these furtive creatures. Along with providing profiles of the six types found in Idaho (three native and three non-native), you’ll learn how to catch and collect them in an ecologically responsible way; their life cycle and anatomy; tips for consuming them safely; state fishing regulations; a scrumptious recipe; and more. Copiously illustrated, this handbook also directs readers to more in-depth informational sources if they want to know more. Guide for Identifying Crayfish in Idaho
