^^This.
Also, there are two types of crawfish common in south Louisiana Red Swamp and White River. The Red Swamp is the one found in the basin and both are found in ponds. People seed with basin crawfish thinking they will have bigger crawfish, but size is directly related to population density. Just like fish in an aquarium, fish will get bigger when either the aquarium is enlarged or fish are taken out.
