WWW.WAS.ORG • WORLD AQUACULTURE • JUNE 2019 47 Notes D. Andrés Salvador Habsburgo-Lorena, Archduke of Austria, Honorary President of the Institucion de Investigacion y Ciencia de Carlomagno Recently, Don Andrés was recognized by several organization in Andalusia, Spain for his contributions to the formation of an active and profitable Procambarus crayfish industry in Spain. Academic and municipal leaders awarded him with recognitions and initiatives that noted his role in the historic introduction of this crustacean while he was a government agency administrator for freshwater fisheries over 40 years ago. This article is based on his address during a ceremony in his honor. Submission of this article was initiated and facilitated by Albert P. “Rusty” Gaude III, Associate Area Agent, LSU AgCenter, Jefferson, LA. He also provided all photographs and associated captions. LEFT: During the early 1980s, some sanctioned experimental attempts were made to encourage winter Procambarus production in the fallow Spanish ricefields by re-flooding over the harvested rice stubble. Such winter reflooding is the normal protocol for Procamabrus production in native Louisiana. RIGHT: Procambarus buying stations in Las Marismas, like this one at Casa Alta belonging to the Grau family, quickly became locations where fishermen could convert captured crawfish into needed income for their families and engage in conversation about local conditions.
