The Australian red claw crayfish is of great interest as a new breeding facility in Kazakhstan.

Its value is that it has rapid growth and relatively low requirements for breeding conditions. In conditions of artificial breeding, it is unpretentious, almost omnivorous. Its meat has dietary value, high taste and nutritional qualities, and the proportion of meat (30% of body weight) exceeds 15-20% compared to long-fingered cancer. Due to its biological characteristics and taste characteristics, the species proved to be suitable for commercial breeding.

​Scientific staff of  the “RPC of Fisheries” LLP  at fish farms of the Republic of Kazakhstan are working on the development of effective biotechnical methods of reproduction and industrial cultivation of Australian red claw crayfish. Based on the results, recommendations will be developed for farmers in Kazakhstan. ​The research is carried out within the Scientific and Technological Support for the integrated development of aquaculture in Kazakhstan through the development and implementation of innovative technologies and new fish farming facilities.
