Commercial farming of Redclaw Crayfish (Cherax Quadricarinatus), a native to North Queensland, Northern Territory and Papua New Guinea river systems was first trailed in South Queensland in the 1980’s. |
The Redclaw species has many biological prerequisites suitable for commercial Aquaculture, particular its ease of reproduction. Breeding activity is stimulated by water temperature with incubation taking approximately 6 to 10 weeks.
DPI Queensland has undertaken
considerable research into the farming potential of Redclaw and have extensive
information both general and scientific available on request. For further
information on this species visit the DPI
Web Site or contact one of our committee members.
