[@pandarama67]

make sure you park parallel to the dam and for dam sure make sure you wear your life jacket around the pond and put the soft shelled ones back in the pond and by all means drive carefully when transporting tabbies. yeah man, I'm gonna have a bumper sticker made that says "caution yaby on board"

[@RoboTekno]

Wow, their claws are huge when compared to crayfish I've seen here in the US. Are the claws also eaten from these Australian yabbies?

[@mauxuwon6252]

I want to farm these in Thailand, would it be possible?

[@stephengrigor5198]

yum just had a good feed few days ago with my home made garlic sauce

[@allchinpl]

great vid will be taking all this info on board, thanks.

[@RichardOhKaNoi]

we already have yabbies in the USA they are called crayfish or crawdads. it is just a name the Australians use but they are the same animal.

[@leviroch]

Not true, completely different species. Every continent has their own variation of freshwater crayfish

[@michaelrossi3707]

I love yabbies. I could tickle em for hours

[@FancyFarmOFFICIAL]

nice video on yabbies farming

I saw zero dams. Several ponds, though.

[@lilfarlow100]

Where can you sell these in nsw? And can it be done with one large dam ?

[@omniXenderman]

dont throw the soft shelled back, they make the best possible fishing bait there is, there is not a carnivorus fish alive that wont bite on a soft craw

[@VolpeRossauk]

another point. Although this holds alot of great info... why do they feel the need to tell us in a manor suited for preschool?

[@kattykillfish]

I clicked on this because I wanted to know wtf are yabbies. Now I know.

[@enragedseaurchin8629]

There basically craw dads us

[@tobso6029]

You don't live in Australia

[@adibdk3307]

what do they feed the yabbies ?, is it corn ?

[@bigdaddysacc]

adib DK hay bales and bio mass and lime

[@leviroch]

Theyll eat anything, i just dump my food scraps bin in my yabbie tank out back (which is generally just chicken bones, egg shells, avo skins and onion off cuts)

[@adibdk3307]

they said it second grade grains, what type of grains is that, somebody help me please

[@danstevens2204]

adib DK second grade as in a grain crop that has been determined to be not top quality. No doubt a way of saving costs compared to using first grade.

[@feiren7774]

[@campo2400]

Fei Ren how many would u like mate, I am in the process of starting up a yabby farm

[@campo2400]

once I am approved I can harvest atleast 400kg a week size from 35 to 650 grams .

[@campo2400]

Dion Adcock I'm in the process of getting a yabbie farm permit to sell have been told it take's a month. Still waiting for DPI.

[@angk8670]

Fei are you interested in Murray Cod ?

[@beautifuldurian]

Australia is a big beautiful country. Why dont u ask your farmers/fishermen to rear expensive seafoods such as abalone, tuna, crabs and bird nest? They are in great demand in asian countries. In Singapore, we pay around S$35 for medium size crabs. Those above 1kg its abt $48 up. Bird nest cost abt $30 each depending on grade. Some farmers attract them with recorded birs calls to old vacant houses to breed and then collect the nest instead of getting the nest from caves.

[@blaedashfield5222]

anyone know of any yabby processors in vic?

[@coreyjd31186NY]

My aunt XD

[@johnson1573]

good job

[@leroy25au]

Awsome

[@stevenmajewski3870]

Yabbies, it's whats for dinner.

[@danstevens2204]

Yabby closes gills with dam water inside. Then is flushed with water from same dam...Mmm much better

[@robertmaestas2616]

Those are crawdads

[@ericwood3709]

+Liam Sims They look pretty distinctive from other varieties, though. It looks like Oz has produced crayfish as distinct from those elsewhere as the rest of their native fauna. I'm looking forward to receiving my first Cherax (yabby) pet very soon!
