Funky Kreef Facts
Crayfish who have the fancy Latin name of Jasus Lalandii can reach an age of 40 years.
Until 1953, our local kreef was known as Crawfish or Spiny Lobster – until Parliament amended the Crawfish Act of 1940 by the substitution for the name.
At 7 years of age, a female crayfish produces about 200’000 eggs of which only 1% reach maturity.
Female crayfish may take up to 20 years to reach a catch-able size.
In the previous centuries, fishermen regarded crayfish as a pest and would toss them overboard when caught in their nets.
Wagon loads of dead crayfish used to be collected and sold to farmers as fertilizer!
