re: Is There Lithium in Your Crawfish?

What a useless article. Basically, just an announcement that a study is being conducted. Then they use a picture of the largest collection of blue crawfish I've ever seen to scare people that lithium is turning crawfish blue??

This statement right here would be a clear huge red flag that a pond or area is overly contaminated.

A review on lithium toxicity in plants by ScienceDirect stated that lithium can disrupt metabolic processes like photosynthesis which ultimately can inhibit growth and yield.

Also, is a crawfish's life cycle even long enough to accumulate enough lithium to be dangerous to predators, but not itself? Especially in farm raised...but I guess that's what the study is for.
