How do crayfish breath?

Class Malacostraca Order Decopoda

Being largely aquatic, most larger crustaceans breathe via gills. Their gas exchange system is closed (cf. the open system of insects), and the oxygen that diffuses through the gills is either transported in simple solution in the haemolymph, or bound to blood pigments such as haemoglobin or haemocyanin.

Crayfish gills 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.
