In 1990, Louisiana produced 90% of the crawfish in the world and consumed 70% of it locally, [13] but by 2003, Asian farms and fisheries produced more, outpacing American production rapidly. By 2018, P. clarkii crawfish production in the Americas represented just 4% of total global P. clarkii supply. [14]

Louisiana produces 100 million pounds (45 million kilograms) of crawfish per year with the red swamp and white river crawfish being the main species harvested. [21] Crawfish are a part of Cajun culture dating back hundreds of years. [22] A variety of cottage industries have developed as a result of commercialized crawfish iconography.
About 70%–80% of crayfish produced in Louisiana are Procambarus clarkii (red swamp crawfish), with the remaining 20%–30% being Procambarus zonangulus (white river crawfish). [15] Despite the large-scale production in Louisiana, most frozen crayfish available in supermarkets in other states are Chinese imports.
Procambarus zonangulus, the white river crawfish, [4] white river crayfish [5] or southern white river crayfish, [1] [6] is a species of freshwater crayfish. It is a distinct but closely related species from Procambarus acutus , which is also known as white river crayfish and has a wider range.
Faxonius virilis is a species of crayfish known as the virile crayfish, northern crayfish, eastern crayfish, and lesser known as the lake crayfish or common crawfish. Faxonius virilis was reclassified in August 2017, and the genus was changed from Orconectes to Faxonius . [ 4 ]
Procambarus clarkii, known variously as the red swamp crayfish, Louisiana crawfish or mudbug, [3] is a species of cambarid crayfish native to freshwater bodies of northern Mexico, and southern and southeastern United States, but also introduced elsewhere (both in North America and other continents), where it is often an invasive pest.
Procambarus acutus has spread beyond the American states it is native to and is now found in most of the Continental US. [11]These crayfish are also found in Egypt, [11] Great Britain, [12] and the Netherlands [11] [12] however there is insufficient information at this time to assess their degree of establishment or invasiveness.
