Behaviour
Crayfish can be aggressive and cannibalistic under certain conditions. High
survival and good growth can still be achieved when some form of shelter (for
example, onion bags for juveniles) is available in the ponds.
Although redclaw are less aggressive, shelter is still required to achieve uniform
growth rates, as large crayfish dominate small crayfish. Regularly trapping the
larger crayfish from the pond also helps to ensure more uniform growth rates.

yang dapat mendominsai ukuran yang lebih kecil)

Behavior
When the traps were lifted, crayfish were often found clinging to a trap or just about to
enter via the tapered funnel, indicating that they were active in daylight hours. This
activity is backed up by observations of adults moving about in the shallows during
daytime. It is not known if they were active at night although it is presumed so, as other
populations have been found to be. When handled, individuals often took up a curled
posture with claws crossed and clamped together, rather than exhibiting the aggressive
claws raised posture that most crayfish species display when disturbed. This probably
makes it difficult for all but the largest fish to swallow them.
