Irishman's friend CAMBARIDAE, probably Cambarus
(Lacunicambarus) diogenes or C. (L.) ludovicianus
[U.S.: Louisiana] When levee construction in
lower Louisiana became a public work, Irish immigrants
were employed in the building and maintenance
of the structures. Crawfish burrows in the embankments
caused them to fail, and thus repair work provided
additional jobs for the Irish workers. Crawfish were
thus called "The Irishman's Friend." Botkin, 1955:282.
Note that as early as 1811 crayfish were noted as the
cause of levee leakage (Brackenridge, 1814:177).
isim cay = "whisker fish." CAMBARIDAE, probably
