Is a lobster a crayfish?
Crayfish, or crawfish, is the common name for almost exclusively freshwater crustaceans comprising the arthropod families Astacidae, Cambaridae, and Parastacidae, resembling small versions of the marine lobsters, to which they are closely related in the same decapod infraorder Astacidea. So they are not the same thing, but are closely related.
