do crayfish use lungs or gills for respiration
Crayfish do take up oxygen from the water through their exoskeleton by means of gills. There have been experiments performed by Ellis and Morris to observe how the pH effected oxygen consumption and uptake and metabolic activity in the Australian crayfish Cherax destructor.ethany Grant. Crayfish also called Crawfish or Crawdad, are crustaceans in which most of them live in freshwater and a few live in brackish or salt water. Some live in burrows on land close to a source of water, all crayfish have the ability to borrow (Hyman 1996).
