Yabby |
 | | Yabbies are active burrowers and are very hardy, able to withstand poor water quality and long periods of drought. |
| | Restrictions on methods of gathering yabbies, especially the prohibition of "opera house" nets and other enclosed nets for the capture of yabbies and other freshwater crayfish in rivers and streams relate more to the protection of other wildlife, such as platypus and water rats, than to any attempt to restrict the take of yabbies. |
| | Yabbies themselves, in the smaller sizes, make excellent bait for the larger native fish, being an important part of the diet of many species. |
