Gestation of the eggs takes about nine months, with females carrying the eggs on their tail through winter. After hatching in mid-summer, the hatchlings of about 6 millimetres (0.24 in) attach to the female's swimming legs and will remain with the mother until a few months later in autumn.
The crayfish begin to breed when they are 15–20 cm (6–8 in) long, which takes between 6 and 9 years. [2] When the crayfish has reached sexual maturity the females lay 500 to 1,000 eggs in late autumn; the eggs are carried on the female's pleopods until they hatch in summer. [2]

There are two to three spines on segments two and three in a second line on most crayfish above 30 mm (1.2 in), rarely on segments four and five and absent on segment six.
