How does having 2 types of antennas help the crayfish function?

Crayfish possess two types of antennas: long antennules and shorter antennae, which serve different functions. The long antennules are primarily used for chemoreception, allowing crayfish to detect chemical signals in the water, which aids in finding food and mates. The shorter antennae are more tactile, helping crayfish navigate their environment and sense physical objects or obstacles. This dual antenna system enhances their overall sensory perception, crucial for survival in complex aquatic habitats.
