As a kind of high-end freshwater delicious and nutritious shellfish, Blue Crayfish has become popular in recent years. Now it has begun to sell ahead of schedule.

In the farmer Gao Errong’s paddy field where Blue Crayfish and rice grow together, tender and full blue crayfishes are being taken out to the market. With “blue armors”, they wave their large claws energetically. Most are longer than an adult’s fingers and each weighs more than three 150 grams.

Blue Crayfish, with its scientific name being Red Crayfish, is native to Australia, etc. It is called “Blue Crayfish” for its shell is partially blue. Now it  is one of more expensive freshwater crayfish species.

To plant rice and breed crayfishes together in the paddy field expands the breeding space of crayfishes. In order to increase farmers’ incomes, Yucheng, a town of Haiyan, has introduced the blue crayfish breeding industry chain project and held activities such as the Blue Crayfish Culture Festival in recent years to further promote the development of local characteristic industries.
