Yabbie Breeding

[Slats]

Hello all,

Does anyone have any in-depth websites that describe the process on how to
breed yabbies?

Most sites I have found are very very general. Just describe in little
details how they breed. I am looking into how to make them breed i guess :)

TIA

Just a suggestion, but have you tried http://www.google.com ,
http://www.yahoo.com , http://www.dogpile.com , http://www.excite.com , or
other search engines ?

Where you can find results like :
http://www.natfish.tafensw.edu.au/industryinfo/ProductionTechniques.htm
http://www.worldcatlibraries.org/wcpa/ow/f3bd5a9020fb78d0a19afeb4da09e526.html
http://aquaponicslibrary.20megsfree.com/crayfish.htm

http://aqualandpetsplus.com/Live%20Food%2C%20Crayfish.htm
http://www.nswwc.allianz.com.au/wc/wic.nsf/WIC/w042000

I'm glad to help people if they really can't find something, but next time
could you try searching first ?

Hi Slats ;
Sorry I was a little "crabby" when I wrote the first reply. ( forgive the
pun )
I had just gotten home from 11 hours at work ...

Try searching for "yabby breeding temperature" , "crayfish breeding in
aquarium" , "yabby breeding ph" , or something similar. The more specific
you make the search, the fewer results you get. But when you get 194,600
results like I did, narrowing it down helps A LOT.

I don't know much about Australian crayfish / yabbies , but native crayfish
in the northern USA need at least 3 months of continued 1 to 5 degrees C ,
followed by warmer water with lower hardness to stimulate breeding. Breeding
crayfish from the northern USA would be very difficult indoors. I save a lot
of effort, and let mine breed in the river 5 meters from my apartment....
8-)

I would suggest you find out what time of the year they breed locally, what
the weather and water is like at that time of the year, and try to duplicate
those conditions if you can. Or just grab a net and head to your local pond
/ lake / stream ....

Not really relavent to an aquarium group, but maybe you can answer a
question for me ? I found a website on Vegemite, and I wondered what it's
like. It's made as a by-product of beer, so does it taste like beer ? Just
wondering .... if it tastes like beer, and it's good for you, I may have
found a new favorite food . < GRIN >

Hi Limnophile,

I didn't take your 1st reply the wrong way. I didn;t see anything wrong with
it :)

Thanks very much for the info, I will look deep into it :)

OK, Vegemite. If it taste like beer, I think it would be actually more liked
than it actually is! hehe My best advice is to try some. It;s the only way
you will ever know. It's actually a very salty taste. You will either like
it or hate it. Even some Aussie's can;t stand it. But lots of visitors from
overseas that I have encountered can;t get enough of it! hehehe

This is what is from the label on the jar:

Vegemite - Australian Born and Bred.
The Vegemite story started in 1923 after war had delayed supplies of
imported yeast extracts. Fred Walker, a business visionary and founder of
Fred Walker & Co enlisted the support of Dr Cyril P Callister, a brilliant
young scientist to create an Australian made yeast spread. After many
attempts they developed a spread that would fit the bill. But what to call
it? The company could not decide so they ran a competition. The response was
overwhelming and there was only one fair way to decide a winner. Fred's
daughter Sheilah pulled a name from a hat. That name was "Vegemite" and an
Australian icon was born. At that same time Fred Walker joined forces with a
Canadian, James Kraft to start a joint venture company - The Kraft Walker
Cheese company. Vegemite has been made in Melbourne since 1923. And it is
from here that we continue to put a rose in every cheek.

Ingredients: Yeast Extract, Salt, Mineral Salt (508), Malt Extract, Natural
Colour (150), Vegetable Extract, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate

Heheheh I hope this helps convince you to try some :)

Cheers,

Slats

Maybe someone should start a new newsgroup ....
rec.foods.vegemite ???
I can imagine it now :
"I like it "
"I hate it"
"I love it"
"I hate it"

I guess that would get boring quick ....

Thanks for the Vegemite info. I hope you have good luck with your yabbies.

we have Marmite in the UK, which is very similar, and loved and hated
equally.

To my taste buds, vegemite tastes like anchovie paste with all the fishy
taste replaced by a yeasty taste.

hahaha. good old vegemite. one thing you'll notice in Australia is that
everyone has a jar of vegemite somewhere in the cupboard. we love it!

Yeah there is very good info on www.bluecrayfish.com.

What types of yabbies are you wanting to breed??? Quads(Red Claw),
Destructors(Yabby), or Marron? It makes a difference for tank size. If you
have a male & a female the will normally breed right away. For best results
keept them apart for a couple of weeks then put the female into the males
tank not the other way around. The male should atempt to breed right away.
After you see them mating seperate them as soon as they are finished
otherwise the male will try to mate again. Which will cause him to remove
the pervious sperm plug & start the cycle all over again. Females can hold
the sperm for months before using it. They only produce eggs & use the sperm
when the feel the conditions are right & safe.

Feel free to ask any more questions...

It's tastes a little of beer (the yeasty flavour) but there's a salty taste
too, and something like vegetable stock flavour as well.
Yabbies breed in 'dams' I guess that equates to small agricultural ponds or
something
there's a yabbie 'farm' at heathcote, vic
maybe they have a web site now, I know they'd asked me about making them one
quite a few years back when I lived there. there's also a larger variant of
the yabbie from west aussie, I dont know a lot about them except they grow
bigger and are more viable as a food product for that reason.
back on the vegemite.. you might have something like promite (english stuff)
that tastes vaguely similar, but awful.

What is it with Australians an their Vegemite? I am not trying to start up
any flame war or anything but they do seem kind of anal about it (ones
that like it to start with) We have Marmite here in South Africa, which
tastes different from the Marmite in England. I lobe my marmite and would
defend it over Vegemite just to have a go at an Aussie! But I must say
that I do like Vegemite and there is not much difference between the two.

Recently while in the France, I witnessed one Aussie tentatively tasting
English Marmite and reveling in its closeness to Vegemite. On telling
one of his compatriots to taste it and that it "almost tastes the same"
his mate shot him dismissing it as inferior whilst refusing to even taste
it!!!

PS Interesting fact I am using Pan for Linux to post and it accepts
Vegemite (only with a cap) as correctly spelled but not Marmite.
(Vegemite 1 Marmite 0) What is the world coming to?

PPS I have just added Marmite to the dictionary!!!!! (Vegemite 1 Marmite 1)

PPPS I have just had Marmite on toast with my tea (Vegemite 1 Marmite 2)
