I. 2020 Crayfish Price Forecast

The 2020 crayfish price should not change much from the 2019 crayfish price, with the price forecast likely between 20-40 yuan per kilogram.

In early May, crayfish begin to come onto the market, and prices at this time should be relatively expensive; as large quantities of crayfish reach the market, prices will slowly stabilize, then reverse around White Dew, when crabs will take over from crayfish and become an indispensable seasonal delicacy on citizens' dining tables.

II. How Are the Farming Prospects for Crayfish?

Crayfish have swept the whole country in recent years, becoming the mainstay of summer late-night snacks, and prices have been rising year by year. At present, market demand for crayfish is relatively high. Moreover, in recent years there have also been large quantities of exported crayfish; they are a main force on the dining table, with large market demand, so the prospects for farming crayfish are still quite good. However, as the number of people farming crayfish has increased in recent years, market competition for crayfish is relatively strong, and this still needs to be considered carefully before farming.

III. How to Choose Crayfish?

When buying crayfish, selecting them is also a skill. Normal, healthy crayfish have a complete shape, even size, a head and body in equal proportion, a clean body surface and a white abdomen; whereas wild or contaminated crayfish are uneven in size, have a relatively large head, a brownish-red body surface, a poor abdomen and joints, and a large amount of filth or parasites inside the head, which can harm human health. In addition, those farmed in an environment with better water quality smell of a natural fishy water odor when sniffed, with no smell of decay or heavy metals; but those from a poorer water quality environment have a metallic or putrid odor. And when eating crayfish outside, if you find that the crayfish's tail is straight, it means it is a dead crayfish, and this is not recommended for consumption; if it is curved and the body is curled up, it means it is a live crayfish and can be eaten.

Crayfish are very popular in the market, and the farming prospects are also quite good. Friends with farming experience and farming conditions can try farming them.
