Imagine they will just produce natural clones of themselves. Not unknown in the animal kingdom. The Desert Grassland Whiptail Lizard, an all-female species, reproduces strictly through cellular meiosis (no fertilization of eggs required), while ovulation is enhanced by what basically amounts to lizard-lesbianism.
No one is afraid of them reproducing. Why this with the crayfish?
The Mutant Crayfish of Europe, aka the Marbled Crayfish of Europe was an accident and they are spreading fast and maybe Jeffrey’s theory is right. They do take over the world. The Simpson’s were right about Trump being President so Jeffrey can be right about this.

You can’t negotiate with giant mutant crayfish because they’re too shellfish.

Just tell the French that they taste like frog legs. Problem solved.

Gumbo usually has shrimp, not crawfish. Etouffee is the traditional dish using the mudbugs.

Ahh, in south Louisiana, we’d make short work of ’em.
And they’re crawfish, not “crayfish.”

Reminds me of some good times years ago on Little Lobster Creek in Oregon. We put less spice and more beer in the boil than the Cajuns do.

These crayfish have evolved a third set of Chromosomes that allow asexual reproduction. This allows exponential population growth rate.

I think they stole this from an old SNL bit involving radioactive mutant lobsters.

The classic Cajun approach when faced with any grotesque abomination . . . “how does it cook up?!”
And Gumbo can have ANYTHING in it and STILL be gumbo!
