The country’s largest crayfish nursery has opened in Candaba, Pampanga, the Department of Agriculture announced on Friday. The 1,280-square-meter facility will breed Australian Redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus), a popular and prolific aquaculture species with a lobster-like appearance and is valued for its flavorful meat. The nursery can accommodate 16 tanks capable of producing 48,000 fry every two weeks.
