Crayfish excrete waste primarily through specialized organs called green glands, located near the base of their antennae. These glands filter waste products from the blood and help regulate water balance. The waste is excreted as a dilute urine-like solution, which is expelled through openings near the base of the antennae. This process is vital for maintaining the crayfish's internal environment and overall health.
