In crabs, the determination of male or female is often observed through their exoskeleton, specifically the shape of the abdominal flap or the pleon. Male crabs typically have a narrower, triangular shape, while females have a broader, more rounded flap to accommodate their reproductive organs. Additionally, male crabs may have larger claws, especially in species like the blue crab. These physical characteristics help distinguish between the sexes in various crab species.
