Investigated three strains of the common freshwater crayfish (yabby), to determine the potential for genetic improvement of this species for aquaculture. Crossbreeding generated viable progeny and differences were found between strains in reproductive performance, sex ratios, morphology and overall genetic divergence measured by DNA sequencing.
