In the past, the bluecrayfish.com forums were very active and full of a lot of great information related to crayfish. Apparently the site went down, but is now back up again. Unfortunately, there are next to no active members. I would really like to see it become again the community it once was. So if there are any of you who are interested in participating in the discussions over there or who are former members, please head over!
Alternatively, I created a subreddit on the website reddit.com specifically for crayfish discussion. It would be really great if those of you who are experienced in crayfish identification and biology could come over and contribute to the discussions there. http://www.reddit.com/r/Crayfish/
Thank you very much!

I must beg you to consider the ethics of distributing such an animal knowing it's only a matter of time before it winds up in wild populations.
I might be a little slow but do we even know what this animal is or where it came from? A reasonable person might ask "why it's here and why is it being distributed".
Just some food for thought and maybe consideration for strong warnings about the impacts of releasing animals into wild places.

I'm not trying to be a wet blanket crawchief but in the market area I see "self replicating crayfish" which are presumably for sale.

I'm not sure if you were addressing me directly, but I have no need to consider the ethics of distributing such an animal because I do not own the marbled "self-replicating crayfish" nor have I ever distributed one. The only crayfish I have sold are Cambarellus shufeldtii, which I seriously doubt would be successful as an invasive species.
Again, not sure if you were addressing me, but I see your point although it doesn't relate to me directly other than I do have an interest in crayfish.

Crawchief, indeed I was operating under the assumption that you were directly involved with the site. My apologies for that misguided assumption. You know what happens when you assume! Never fails.
