	Yabby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yabby is a name given in Australia to two different kinds of crustacean.
		Freshwater yabbies are crayfish of the genus Cherax (infraorder Astacidea, family Parastacidae).
		Marine yabbies are ghost shrimps (infraorder Thalassinidea), which live in deep burrows in the intertidal zone.

	The Freshwater Yabby - NSW DPI - Fisheries (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The common yabby forms an important part of the diet of white ibis, several cormorants, and warmwater fishes such as the Murray cod and the callop (golden perch or yellowbelly).
		Substrate type is not critically important, although the yabby is commonly found on muddy or silted bottoms with the occasional rock or fallen branch (in contrast to the leaf-littered, rocky or pebbly streams of the spiny crayfishes).
		The yabby is susceptible to insecticides and herbicides, particularly the organochlorines.

	Australian Aquaculture Portal
		Because yabbies are an introduced species in Western Australia, the licensed yabby farming industry is restricted to the drier inland developed agricultural area of the south west, to the north of Perth and to the east of Albany.
		Yabbies are produced mainly in existing dams and farm waterways as part of farm diversification.
		Yabby ponds are an ideal use for land with heavy clay based soils that may be otherwise unproductive, and can represent an opportunity for diversification for farmers who have access to water and spare land.

		Yabbies have large claws used for defence, holding food and digging.
		Yabbies live in streams, lakes, dams and ponds in south-eastern Australia.
		In the water, Yabbies hide under rocks and branches.

	Yabby
		The number of Yabby-holes over a flat often conveys a misleading impression of the density of these animals, for each adult Yabby may have three surface holes communicating with its main burrow, the walls of which are smoothed and compacted by its movements.
		The adult male has one enormously-developed claw which is capable of giving a rather sharp nip; this feature is less well developed in the adult female, who may carry 2,000 eggs in a cluster under her abdomen.
		Yabbies feed by straining out organic matter from the sand into which they have burrowed.

		It is carnivorous, feeding on shrimps, yabbies and insects.
		The common yabby (Cherax destructor) is native to the western drainage in NSW.
		Yabbies can be produced in farm dams, but must not be stocked with fish if they are to be the main crop.

		Yabbies are also cannibalistic, particularly where overcrowding occurs when a form of population control is exercised by yabbies eating their own kind.
		Yabbies are a food source for aquatic birds and fish, and are a popular fishing bait and food for man, and are increasingly produced by commercial fish farms for both fishing bait and for restaurants, the yabby being considered a delicacy.
		Yabbies are the semi-aquatic group of Australia's (and Victoria's) freshwater crayfishes.

	RIRDC: The New Rural Industries - A Hanbook for Farmers and Investors - trout (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Australian yabbies are in demand internationally due to their high quality, larger size than crayfish produced by overseas competitors, acceptance by European markets as a replacement for diminishing stocks of their own native crayfish, freedom from major diseases and ability to be landed live in the major international markets.
		The yabbies remain in these tanks, where they are not fed, for a minimum of 48 hours to purge their hind guts and greatly improve the flavour and travelling condition.
		A case study of the economics of harvesting yabbies from a farmer's dams was undertaken in 1996 by an extension officer employed by the Fisheries Department of WA.

	Yabbies
		Yabbies are prolific breeders and spawn annually during the summer months in Victoria.
		Feeding rates are between 2% and 4% biomass/day and the yabbies are fed artificial feeds, which are supplemented by natural feeds in the ponds.
		Yabbies are popular domestically as table food and are also used as fish bait.

		Yabbies are extremely susceptible to contaminants in the water, up to 10 times more than fish species.
		Yabbies are prolific breeders and a female may carry more than a thousand eggs.

		The live yabby can then be hooked lightly through the underside of the tail so the hook point comes out at the tip of the tail, making the yabby ride upright.
		On the other side of the coin is the fact that yabbies are first class table fare and sometimes they are just too good to be used as bait.
		The common yabby (cherax desructor) can be found in just about any western watershed in NSW (west of The Great Divide).

		Common names for fish are useful because they are often simple, easy to pronounce and familiar to many people.
		The common name describes the gold-bronze colour of this alien fish. Other common names are carp, crucian carp and Prussian carp.
		Jollytail is a common name for the fish of this family, possibly referring to the rapid way in which the fish moves its tail and dorsal and ventral fins.

		Crayfish are heavy bodied crustaceans with an enlarged, pincer-like first pair of legs and are known by many common names depending on the area they are found.
		The three main species used in yabby farming and found in pet shops in Australia are the Dam Yabby Cherax destructor, the Marron Cherax tenuimanus from Western Australia, and the Queensland Red Claw Cherax quadricarinatus.
		Yabbies range in colour from brown, green to pale blue with mottled claws.

		By injecting the yabbies with a fluorescent dye, researchers are able to monitor which family each animal is from to prevent inbreeding.
		Even though there is confidence that there is a market for the yabbies, until there is the ability to produce consistently high numbers reaping the rewards of such substantial investment is not quite a reality.

		The NSW yabby aquaculture industry is small in terms of production, although over 200 aquaculture farms in NSW are licensed to produce yabbies.
		Demand for farmed yabbies also seems to be much higher than supply, with estimates of a latent demand 5 times higher than the current national supply of 300t/pa (Ruello 2001).

		Nicky Thomas was born Cecil Nicholas Thomas in Portland, Jamaica, in 1949.
		Following a tour of Britain in support of the single that same year, Thomas decided to stay, and he continued to release his brand of pop-infused reggae from the U.K. until his death in 1990.
		Sort of a poor man's Jimmy Cliff, Thomas produced a small but infectious body of work, and he deserves to be remembered on the strength of "Love of the Common People" alone, as well as for songs like "BBC," a harsh criticism of Radio 1's treatment of Jamaican reggae artists.

	Crustacean Information
		Although crustaceans are rarer as fossils than trilobites are, a number of different types of crustaceans are common in the rocks of the Cretaceous period as well as those of the Caenozoic era.
		Most of the smaller crustaceans, such as shrimp, have an exoskeleton which is somewhat delicate and for this reason their fossil record is incomplete.
		"These are fairly common in the Puget Sound, and are distinguished from other crabs of similar size by the deep red color and fl tips on their claws".

		The decline of water quality, blooms of blue-green algae, contamination with pesticides, nutrients and sediment, microbes that threaten drinking water supplies, fish deaths, and the threats posed by increasing salinity are some of the widespread issues that affect many waterways in Australia.
