![Photo showing healthy rice and lotus crops and a crayfish infested pond in the middle.](https://webarchive.library.unt.edu/eot2008/20090508095607im_/http://nsf.gov/news/mmg/media/images/crayfish3_f.jpg) |
Louisaiana crayfish Procambarus clarkii can devastate agriculture by consuming crops such as rice and lotus as well as by burrowing in the muddy bottom of agricultural ponds. A healthy rice crop appears in the foreground of the photo, and a healthy, dense lotus crop is seen in the background (notice the dense leaves). The ponds in the midground of this photo contain a lotus crop severely limited by crayfish infestation.
