Crayfish

 Nutritionists have proved that crayfish and other seafoods are brain stimulating foods. Crayfish has a healthy combination of nutrients which include protein that contains large amounts of amino acids tyrosine that energizes the brain and omega 3 fatty acids which is a beneficial fat we can consume. One can obtain a healthy supply of vitamin D, A, calcium, potassium, copper and zinc by consuming crayfish consistently.

The economic value of Crayfish cannot be over-emphasized, they are harvested by local fishermen in riverine areas for small-scale trade and this yields considerable revenue because the consumption of crayfish in Nigeria has skyrocketed. The processing and packaging of crayfish have gained ground in Nigeria and have created few employment opportunities.
