Crawfish ponds too empty for demand
Crawfish is an item that is high on many Christmas shopping lists. Preparing a great meal is easy with this excellent ingredient is not hard if you know where to get your high quality crawfish. This type of fish is harvested from special ponds.
This year it seems that the crawfish farmers will not be able to supply enough crawfish to meet demand. According to the Louisiana Crawfish Farmers Association here are crawfish being caught but the number of fish that will be available in the shops is nowhere near the amount of fish that entered the market around this time next year. Restaurants will be able to put crawfish on their menus if they are willing top pay the higher price compared to the last crawfish season. It will be impossible to buy big bags of crayfish but the fish will be available in small quantities.
The crawfish pulling season, when the process of harvesting the crawfish from the breeding ponds starts, usually starts after Thanksgiving. This year has had a very slow harvesting start and as the weather is getting colder it will be harder to harvest good quality fish. One of the reasons for the limited amount of crayfish that is available and the slow crawfish season of this year is the fact that many crawfish farmers are still struggling to restock their ponds after the hurricane season in 2005.
Maintain the water level in your pond such that they stay in the right limits both in summer and rainy seasons.
Replace pond water in periodical intervals for safety and good health of aquatic life.
Clean filter system every so often to keep away clogs and obstructions affecting the water flow.
Remove the decayed plants from pond bottom to keep up safety of aquatic lives.
Add minimal dechlorinator to lessen chlorination effect in fresh water.
Offer proper aeration to the plants to keep up freshness of water, taking care of the aquatic plants with proper fertilizers.
To keep your ponds clean add some helpful bacteria and natural cleaning agents that feed on fish wastes. They help convert ammonia to nitrites further to nitrates that acts as a natural pond filtrating agents. They are absorbed by the aquatic plants to produce oxygen thus forming a nitrogen cycle. This action reduces the phosphorous and organic waste content in pond avoiding algae formation.
