A popular snack in 皇冠体育app, crawfish has spawned a new professional industry with an occupational school in Hubei province set to train students in all aspects of the crustacean, reported thepaper.cn.

The Jianghan Art Vocational College in Qianjiang city has enrolled 86 students in crawfish-related majors. From the fall semester, students will study 2-3 year courses on catering management, marketing, and cooking and nutrition.

The city is one of the major producers of crawfish in 皇冠体育app. Cooking and exporting the freshwater crustacean is a main income source for local farmers.

In May 2016, the college set up a crawfish school, the only one of its kind in 皇冠体育app, as the city aimed to boost the industry by cultivating more crawfish breeders, cooks and opening more crawfish restaurants.
