Ang CRAYFISH

Crayfish, also called crawfish or crawdad, are closely related to the lobster. More than half of the more than 500 species occur in North America, particularly Kentucky (Mammoth Cave) and Louisiana in the Mississippi basin. Crayfish also live in Europe, New Zealand, East Asia and throughout the world, including the Tristan da Cunha Islands. Nearly all live in freshwater, although a few survive in salt water. Crayfish are characterised by a joined head and thorax, or midsection, and a segmented body, which is sandy yellow, green, or dark brown in colour. The head has a sharp snout, and the eyes are on movable stalks. Crayfish are usually about 7.5 cm (3 inches) long.

Bakit parang ang laki ng crayfish nila? Ang laki dude! Nakakabusog ang ganyan. Ganun ba kalaki ang sa Aurora?

tikbalang said...

OO nga, mukhang napalaki nga ito, yung pinadala mo na pic maliit, parang sugpo...

damien to tobit said...

nakausap ko si tikbalang, yung banagan kasinglaki lang ng sugpo. masarap kaya iluto yun? o kaya, malaman kaya yun?

tikbalang said...

ewan ko na. basta ang alam ko:

banagan (lobster) = dagat, malaki
crayfish = ilog, sapa, lawa, maliit
sugpo = malaking hipon, dagat
hipon= maliit na sugpo, dagat, ilog

lahat masarap pero nakaka-allergy kasi invertebrate.

So walang crayfish sa inyo?

Prospective business to pareng damien, yun nga lang di natin alam kung feasible ba at kung anu-anong resources ang kailangan.

Preference ni tikbalang is tanks pa rin just like the one for tilapia
