Crayfish breathe using gills, which are located between the carapace (the exoskeleton of the cephalothorax) and the lateral body wall, in the branchial chamber.

Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the blood and water across the gill surface as water is circulated through the branchial chamber by the beating of the gill bailer on the second maxilla.
