actually, though, they are the same thing...

===== quote wikipedia crayfish =====

The name "crayfish" comes from the Old French word escrevisse
(Modern French ‚crevisse) from Old Frankish *krebitja (cf. crab), from the
same root as crawl. The word has been modified to "crayfish" by
association with "fish" (folk etymology). The largely American
variant "crawfish" is similarly derived.

In New Zealand the name crayfish (or cray) refers to a spiny lobster, and
crayfish are called freshwater crays or koura, the Ma-ori name for the
animal.

Some kinds of crayfish are known locally as lobsters, crawdads [2], mudbugs
[2] and yabbies. In the Eastern United States, "crayfish" is more
common in the north, while "crawdad" is heard more in central
regions, and "crawfish" further south, although there are
considerable overlaps [3].
