Invasive crayfish found in Calgary river

The number of invasive "northern crayfish" in the waterway has been growing.. and it's believed people are moving them around the province-- and using them as live bait.

[@peterquynhle]

Can somebody share an evidence re how they come to conclusion that crayfish was not native in Calgary river?

[@kikistar125]

just add them to the bugs they want us to start eating

[@zaspalia]

Pretty sure they are a staple food in Louisiana. They call them crawfish. I’m guessing you don’t like shellfish 🦞.
