We have been experimenting with Australian red claw crayfish in our Farm in a Box systems and find them to be very complimentary. Understanding that crayfish excrete higher amounts of phosphorus, this gives growers an advantage with flowering and fruiting plants. Clams which are filter feeders help clarify the water and further breakdown fish poop. I realize that Tilapia are not raised in Australia but does anyone have experience raising crawfish or know how much phosphorus these "freshwater lobsters" provide? Any other experience with aquatic polyculture? Check out our system on our website: Earth Solutions (http://www.earthsolutions.com/Farm-in-a-Box-Sydney_p_963.html)
