Swimmerets are located on the abdomen of the Crayfish
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

Swimmerets
A crayfish has eight walking legs and eight swimmerets.
The gender of a crayfish is typically determined by examining the swimmerets on the underside of their abdomen. In general, male crayfish have larger, more prominent swimmerets compared to females. Males also have a pair of specialized hard structures called gonopods on their first pair of swimmerets.

swimmerets
These appendages are called swimmerets, and they play a crucial role in locomotion for lobsters and crayfish, helping them to swim and navigate in the water. In addition to aiding in movement, swimmerets also serve a reproductive function by allowing females to carry and protect their eggs until they hatch.
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.
