Heaps of blue yabbies around or at least blue claws, I think it's from clean water and sunshine but probably not.
Here in WA, we have the mighty blue marron down in the southwest:

Nah it's just a type of common yabby nothing to do with sex.Banjo68 said:
They are very common around here in creeks & dams.
Have been told that you will only get them west of the Great Dividing Range in NSW & not east of it? All I know is there are dams full of them around here.
I've also caught them as far north as Lightning Ridge.

Yep just a normal yabby, as kids we used to find a few blueys, think they were just larger/more mature.
Your "yabbies" we call nippers or clickers, great bream bait. Freshwater crayfish here are large spiny buggers (down here at least), tasty and more meat than the yabbie.
Cheers T.
Your sick Goody :lol: by the way if you want to tell a yabbies sex flip it over and look for the two soft little burs females have under there tails to hold onto the eggs when they lay them.goody2shoes said:Sex ? someone say sex hahaha :lol: :lol: :lol:
We have them on Kangaroo Island too. They escaped from a farm and do well because there are no foxes there. Big buggers. My neighbour had some on the mainland in SA but did not fence his growing ponds. So they decided to all get out and walk off. Neighbour wasn't happy but the local foxes loved it.grubstake said:

Dont think about it Goody, youll only end up blue like the yabby.
These would have to be the champions of the yabby family. Apparently they taste delicious, too. However they are totally protected.
I reckon they would be a good candidate for aquaculture. Big ones can be up to a meter long.
