"Crawfish, or Crayfish is a name of various crustaceous animals, the common crawfish being the river lobster. It lurks under stones or in holes in the banks. Its food consists of small mollusks or fishes, the larvæ of insects, and almost any sort of animal matter. Some crawfish by their burrowing habits injure mill-dams and the levees of the Mississippi."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)

Crayfish, crawfish, or crawdads are freshwater crustaceans resembling small lobsters, to which they are closely related. They breathe through feather-like gills and are found in bodies of water that do not freeze to the bottom; they are also mostly found in brooks and streams where there is fresh water running, and which have shelter against predators. Most crawfish cannot tolerate polluted water, although some species such as the invasive Procambarus clarkii are more hardy. Some crayfish have been found living as much as 3 m (10 feet) underground.
