Crawfish season is in trouble. Early reports from crawfish farmers in Louisiana indicate this year's catch will be down significantly causing higher prices for Texas consumers.

Louisiana is the number one producer of crawfish in the nation with about 250,000 acres of crawfish ponds and 150 million pounds of crawfish harvested annually. Early reports suggest the state could be down by as much as 100,000 acres this year.

Customers will eventually get their fix of mudbugs but that probably won't happen until later this year. For now, customers who want crawfish from this year's catch can expect to pay higher prices.

Houston Public Media spoke to a coastal and marine resource agent with Texas A&M for comment. Read about it at houstonpublicmedia.org
