ORA clownfish are raised on common aquarium foods, and therfore, they are well adapted to aquarium diets.

If you fail to provide a balanced diet, they will have a nutrient deficiency hence, they may have stunted growth. Approximately 90 of the United States farmed and wild crayfish production comes from.

Red Claw Information Package / Curtis & Jones (Eds.), 1996. But true success as an industry may have to wait until Red Claw is properly marketed as its own unique product, as it is in Australia.įor further information on Red Claw culture we recommend the following publications, available from Miami Aquaculture, Inc.: It may also succeed as a substitute lobster or as a "baby lobster". Some have suggested it as a substitute for Red Swamp Crayfish (the commercially important native species in the USA) during the summer or peak demand times. Perhaps the greatest hurdle in the development of Red Claw culture as an industry is marketability.
