Abstract: Thirty crawfish processors' preferences for hypothetical crawfish peeling machines are evaluated using conjoint analysis. Deveining is the most important attribute, with fat retention, individual handling of crawfish, and backstrap retention being roughly equal in importance. Whether the machine is owned or leased is the least important attribute.
