Prawns versus shrimp. While the two may share superficial similarities, they are two distinct species.
Shrimp are smaller, have shorter legs and have claws only on two pairs. Prawns have branching gills while the gills of shrimp are lamellar, i.e. plate-like. Prawns and shrimp are both decapod crustaceans— they have exoskeletons and 10 legs. Both species can be found in salt water and fresh water all over the world. Both species are typically found near coasts and estuaries where they are found swimming near the bottom while feeding. They share similar flavours and come in a wide range of sizes from miniscule to quite large.
One of the most commercially important breeds of freshwater shrimp is Macrobrachium rosenbergii, also known as the Giant River Prawn or Giant Freshwater Prawn. It is one of the largest freshwater prawn species (they can grow to be over 30 cm long). Not surprisingly, Giant River Prawns are one of the, most widely cultivated. The only other freshwater prawns cultivated in any kind of quantity are the .al River Prawn (M. nipponense) farmed in China, and the Indian White Prawn (Penaeus indicus) and the Tiger Prawn (Penaeus. morodon) farmed in India. Other major farmers of fresh water prawns are Taiwan, Bangladesh and Vietnam.
Freshwater prawn farming is suitable for tropical or subtropical climates. They are reared in a variety of freshwater enclosures, including tanks, irrigation ditches, cages, pens, and reservoirs, although the most common enclosures are earthen ponds, which typically supply the best yields for commercial farming. Farming prawn shares many similarities with marine shrimp operations.
