In Australia what name is given to a crayfish?
"of the genus ""Jasus"" that is indigenous to much of southern Oceania, while the freshwater species are usually called ""yabby"" or """", from the indigenous Australian and Māori names for the animal respectively, or by other names specific to each species. Exceptions include western rock lobster (of the Palinuridae family) found on the west coast of Australia; the Tasmanian giant freshwater crayfish (from the Parastacidae family) found only in Tasmania; and the Murray crayfish found along Australia's Murray River.

"Murray crayfish The Murray crayfish, Euastacus armatus, is a species of freshwater crayfish endemic to Australia that belongs to the family Parastacidae. The Murray crayfish has the largest geographic range of any of the ""Euastacus"" crayfish in Australia, being found in the Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers as well as many of their tributaries. Murray crayfish are also known as ""Murray River crayfish"", ""Murray crays"", ""freshwater crays"", ""spiny freshwater crays"", ""spinies"" and in the Wagga Wagga region of southern New South Wales they are simply known as ""lobsters"".

Its members may be found in lakes, rivers and streams across most of Australia and New Guinea. In Australia the many species of ""Cherax"" are commonly known as yabbies. The most common and widely distributed species in Australia is the common yabby (""Cherax destructor"").

"world's largest crayfish, the Tasmanian giant freshwater crayfish, measuring up to 76 cm long and weighing 4.5 kg. The crayfish genus ""Cherax"" includes the common yabby, in addition to the farmed species marron and Queensland red claw. Species from the genus ""Engaeus"", commonly known as the land crayfish, are also found in Australia. ""Engaeus"" species are not entirely aquatic, because they spend most of their lives living in burrows. Australia has seven species of freshwater crab from the genus ""Austrothelphusa"". These crabs live burrowed into the banks of waterways and can plug their burrows, surviving through several years of drought."

It is a sequential hermaphrodite with a strict sized based dominance hierarchy: the female is largest, the breeding male is second largest, and the male non-breeders get progressively smaller as the hierarchy descends. They exhibit protandry, meaning the breeding male will change to female if the sole breeding female dies, with the largest"
