A. Female lobster generally are wider in the upper dorsal tail region. This allows room in the tail to store the premature eggs. Females can also be distinguished by their soft, thin set of first pleopods (swimmerets). Males have a hard, thicker set of first pleopods, and have smaller hard appendages (masculina) attached to their second set of pleopods.

The difference between a male and a female lobster is the swimmets (small feathery appendages near the abdomen) are bony and hard for males and softer for females.
