swimmerets
one way to determine the gender of a crayfish is to look at the first 2 pairs of swimmerets. The males are longer and prong shaped
The fertilized eggs of a crayfish first begins in the gonad which is transferred to the first and second pair of the swimmerets. the mating season is in the fall.
There are two functions: Respiratory and Reproductive. The swimmerets help the gills circulate water through the body, so the crayfish can breath. Reproductively, the 2nd swimmeret of the male clasps the female during mating (ew.) and the swimmerets of the female hold the eggs.
They are related because they all perform some part in the crayfish. Without those parts the crayfish will not survive.They are not related at all!!
