Sac River Basin - Crayfish Crayfish find shelter under rocks and logs in streams where they burrow into gravel. Crayfish are crustaceans, and the outer part of their body is known as an exoskeleton. Sometimes industrial pollutants can hinder their ability to produce their armor-like exoskeleton. Pictures of crayfish and more information can be found at the Missouri Department of Conservation’s crayfish website http://www.conservation.mo.gov/nathis/arthopo/crayfish/varcraw.htm#anchor1219237.
