The invention relates to the technical field of machinery, in particular to crayfish breeding equipment. The equipment comprises an equipment body, the equipment body is composed of a plurality of breeding ponds, each breeding pond is composed of two first enclosing walls which are vertically distributed and two second enclosing walls which are horizontally distributed, the first enclosing walls and the second enclosing walls are connected end to end, and a breeding tank is arranged in the middle of each breeding pond; a water containing tank is arranged in the middle of the bottom surface ofeach breeding tank, slopes are arranged on the two sides of each water containing tank, and a plurality of inhabiting grooves are formed in each second enclosing wall. The inhabiting grooves are formed in the breeding ponds, and a net lifting device is installed in each inhabiting groove so that crayfishes inhabiting in the inhabiting tanks can be captured efficiently and very conveniently, and manpower and material resources are greatly saved. Cleaning devices are installed in the breeding ponds so that waste chips in the breeding ponds can be automatically and efficiently cleaned away. The method is very convenient to use and also saves a lot of manpower and material resources.
