Updated May 8, 2018, 8:21 p.m. ET
Whether you call them crayfish, crawfish, crawdads, mudbugs or mountain lobsters, Berlin, Germany is concerned about their overpopulation. The red swamp crayfish, native to northern Mexico and the southern United States, is believed to have been introduced to lakes and creeks in and around Berlin, by people who had them as pets. Berlin authorities fear the negative effects of an invasive species.
