The report assumes that the violent reaction of lobsters to boiling water is a reflex response (i.e. does not involve conscious perception) to noxious stimuli. [ 3 ] A European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) 2005 publication [ 82 ] stated that the largest of decapod crustaceans have complex behaviour, a pain system, considerable learning ...
The majority can be applied to crayfish due to common ancestry and homology. Neural and tail anatomy provides an idea of the organization of the segmental ganglia in the tail of the crayfish. The second diagram on the page is a transverse section through the tail that highlights the positions of the LGI, MGI and non-giant neurons.
Crayfish can be cooked more humanely by first freezing them unconscious for a few hours, then destroying the central nervous system along their abdomen by cutting the crayfish lengthwise with a long knife down the center of the crayfish before cooking it. [46] Global crayfish production is centered in Asia, primarily China.

A young crayfish emerges from the egg with all the same structure of an adult crayfish. Not every egg produces a young crayfish, as upwards of 60% of the eggs are deficient due to genetic problems. One to two weeks after it hatches, the young crayfish leaves its mother. A majority of the young crayfish are eaten due to their small size.
The Guyandotte River crayfish reaches full maturation in its third year following 2 to 3 years of growth. [4] The crayfish then reproduce for the first time during the "midsummer of the third or fourth year." The Guyandotte River crayfish are an egg-laying species. [4] After their first time reproducing, they continue to mate annually until ...
Euastacus sulcatus, also known as the Lamington crayfish, is a freshwater crayfish, or "yabby", native to Australia. It is commonly bright blue in colour although also existing in a red and white, rusty red, brown, green, orange and completely white variations are found all around its known region. [ 2 ]
It is commonly called crayfish in Australia and New Zealand and kōura in Māori. [3] They resemble lobsters , but lack the large characteristic pincers on the first pair of walking legs. Spiny rock lobsters are carnivorous , leaving their rock cover to venture out to feed during the night.
