A RIP OFF!! by Michael C. Poutous (Texas)  2 Stars
October 21, 2008
This booklet is a rip off. It's like the publisher just copy and pasted information from Wikipedia and around the internet. And forget about it helping you setting up a pond or anything else for that matter. The cover says "small scale" but it only makes (very vague) reference to "5 acre ponds" (and larger) and then does not even say how to set that up. I was hoping to set up a small pond in my back pasture, something like 10 feet by 20 feet. Forget it. If this is even possible, this "book" isn't going to help you. This booklet was put out by a scam artist who just wanted to make some cash off people like me (those who wanted real, practical information). Don't be fooled. Anyone can self-publish free information and make money off it. The information isn't even good (much less useful). If anything, this will teach you how you can publish crap off the internet to make money off honest people. The 2 stars are for the fact that it makes good fire kindling.

Overpriced, poorly published by Lisa Kearns (North Carolina, USA)  3 Stars
June 19, 2008
This "book", while it does have some good information on crayfish farming, isn't a good value. It's 50 pages, 8"x5", cheaply printed, with varying fonts, smears, poor graphics, and haphazard layout. Some sections are nothing more than a collection of sentences pasted together from other sources. At the most, I'd call this a booklet.
There are also several pages containing nothing but a recipe for crayfish. I don't think recipes belong in this book, especially when they seem to be just page fillers.
I gave this booklet three stars because it does give some decent information on food, moulting stages, water pH, etc. But information available free on the Internet will tell you just as much, without the $11 plus postage price.

Book is very informative. Am using it to construct crayfish habitat to grow them as a supplement to our food storage.

| RED CLAW! Raising the Giant Australian Freshwater Crayfish
by Don R. Wilson (Author)
The Red Claw crayfish is a new and very promising aquaculture species. The Red Claw is very similar to the native American species, except that it grows to a HUGE size--almost to that of a lobster!
