Yabby
Cherax destructor
-38.1, 147.067
Field Notes
Description:
Freshwater crustaceans. Blue-green in colour and very active at night when they come out to feed on algae and plant remains. They also eat fish and other animal remains. I found them in a dam on a farm. They create burrows in the dam where they could wait out dry periods for a few years.
Habitat:
Freshwater muddy creeks, dams and ponds.
Notes:
All juveniles and females carrying eggs under their tails must be returned to the water to keep a healthy population.
