crawfish This term is widely used for members <strong>of</strong> the<br />
ASTACOIDEA and PARASTACOIDEA, as well as for<br />
many marine crustaceans. Webster, 1852:280, suggests<br />

suggests the "fish" in crawfish is from the last syllable<br />
<strong>of</strong> ecrevisse. ASTACIDAE ".. .1 went with my mother<br />
into Oxfordshire.. .to Hungerford 16 mile which is<br />
famous for Crawfish...." [U.K.: Berkshire; probably<br />
the Kennet River] Also, "...Kanck-wood [Cannock<br />

Penn (1943:1) discussed his feelings on the crayfish/crawfish<br />
controversy, and, while somewhat dated<br />
and limited in scope, is worth repeating here (my notes<br />
in brackets):<br />
"The name crawfish is used in this paper because it<br />
is believed to be the most common common-name for<br />
the species <strong>of</strong> crawfishes <strong>of</strong> the genus Cambarus to<br />
