True shrimp are swimming, decapod crustaceans classified in the infraorder Caridea, found widely around the world in both fresh and salt water. The decapods or Decapoda ( literally means "ten footed") are an order of Crustaceans within the class Malacostraca, including many Structure of crustaceans As Arthropods crustaceans have a stiff Exoskeleton, which must be shed to allow the animal to grow ( Ecdysis or molting This article is about the taxonomic rank for the sequence of species in a taxonomic list see Taxonomic order In scientific classification used Freshwater is a word that refers to bodies of water such as Ponds lakes rivers and streams containing low concentrations of dissolved Salts and other Total dissolved Seawater is Water from a Sea or Ocean.

Taxonomy
A number of more or less unrelated crustaceans share the word "shrimp" in their common name. Examples are the mantis shrimp and the opossum or mysid shrimp, both of which belong to the same class (Malacostraca) as the true shrimp, but constitute two different orders within it, the Stomatopoda and the Mysidacea. Mantis shrimp or stomatopods are marine Crustaceans the members of the order Stomatopoda. The Mysidacea is a group of small Shrimp -like creatures comprising the two related orders Mysida and Lophogastrida. A class is the Taxonomic rank in the Biological classification of organisms in Biology below phylum and above order. The Malacostraca (Greek "soft shell" are the largest class of Crustaceans and include most of the animals that non-experts recognize as crustaceans including This article is about the taxonomic rank for the sequence of species in a taxonomic list see Taxonomic order In scientific classification used Mantis shrimp or stomatopods are marine Crustaceans the members of the order Stomatopoda. The Mysidacea is a group of small Shrimp -like creatures comprising the two related orders Mysida and Lophogastrida. Triops longicaudatus and Triops cancriformis are also popular animals in freshwater aquaria, and are often called shrimp, although they belong instead to the Notostraca, a quite unrelated group. An aquarium (plural aquariums or aquaria) is a Vivarium consisting of at least one transparent side in which Water -dwelling Plants Members of the order Notostraca (colloquially referred to as notostracans, called Triops, tadpole shrimp or shield shrimp About 2000 species of true shrimps are known.

Shrimp are distinguished from the superficially similar prawns by the structure of the gills, There is, however, much confusion between the two, especially among non-specialists, and many shrimp are called "prawns" and many prawns are called "shrimp". Prawns are Crustaceans belonging to the sub-order Dendrobranchiata A gill is an anatomical structure found in many aquatic organisms This is particularly widespread in culinary contexts.
Shrimp as food

Distinction from prawns
While in biological terms prawns are of a distinct biological suborder of Decapoda, in commercial farming and fishery the terms shrimp and prawn are often used interchangeably. Prawns are Crustaceans belonging to the sub-order Dendrobranchiata This article is about the taxonomic rank for the sequence of species in a taxonomic list see Taxonomic order In scientific classification used The decapods or Decapoda ( literally means "ten footed") are an order of Crustaceans within the class Malacostraca, including many Agriculture refers to the production of goods through the growing of plants and fungi and the raising of domesticated Animals The study of agriculture For the fishing industry and the practice of fishing see Fishing. In European countries, particularly the United Kingdom, the word “prawns” is more commonly on menus than the term “shrimp”, which is used more often in North America. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located The term “prawn” is also loosely used to describe any large shrimp, especially those that come 15 (or fewer) to the pound (also called “jumbo shrimp”). Australia and other Commonwealth countries follow this European/British use to an even greater extent, using the word “prawn” almost exclusively. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Australia topics. Paul Hogan’s use of the phrase “I'll slip an extra shrimp on the barbie for you” in a television advertisement was intended to make what he was saying easier for his American audience to understand, and was thus a deliberate distortion of what an Australian would typically say. Paul Hogan AM (born October 8, 1939) is an Australian Golden Globe -winning actor and comedian most famous for his role as "Shrimp on the barbie" is an often-quoted phrase that originated in a series of Television advertisements by the Australian Tourism Commission starring
Preparation
Preparing shrimp for consumption usually involves removing the head, shell, tail, and "sand vein". The tail is the section at the rear end of an Animal 's Body; in general the term refers to a distinct flexible Appendage to the Torso.
To deshell a shrimp, the tail is held while gently removing the shell around the body. The tail can be detached completely at this point, or left attached for presentation purposes.
Removing the "vein" (a euphemism for the digestive tract) can be referred to as "deveining", though in fact shrimp do not have any real veins; they have an open circulatory system. Pandalus borealis (also called Pandalus eous) is a species of Shrimp found in cold parts of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans Many A euphemism is a substitution of an agreeable or less offensive expression in place of one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant to the listener or in the case of doublespeak Deveining is the removal of the Gastrointestinal tract of a Shrimp, a common part of preparing them for eating In the Circulatory system, a vein is a Blood vessel that carries Blood back toward the Heart (as opposed to Artery, a blood vessel This is an article about the rock music band "Circulatory System" The "vein" can be removed by making a shallow cut lengthwise down the outer curve of the shrimp's body, allowing the dark ribbon-like digestive tract to be removed with a pointed utensil. Alternatively, if the tail has been detached, the vein can be pinched at the tail end and pulled out completely with the fingers.
The shrimp is then rinsed under cold running water.
Shrimp in aquaria
Several types of shrimp are kept in home aquaria. Some are purely ornamental, while others are useful in controlling algae and removing debris. [4] Freshwater shrimp commonly available for aquaria include the Japanese marsh shrimp (Caridina multidentata, also called "Amano shrimp," as their use in aquaria was pioneered by Takashi Amano), cherry shrimp (Neocaridina heteropoda), and ghost or glass shrimp (Palaemonetes spp. Caridina multidentata is a species of Shrimp found in the Yamato River area of Japan as well as parts of Korea and Taiwan is a Photographer, Designer and Aquarist. His interest in aquaria led him to create the Japanese company Aqua Design Amano. Neocaridina heteropoda or cherry shrimp is a species of Fresh water Shrimp commonly kept in Aquariums Full-grown cherry shrimp reach The Genus Palaemonetes includes a geographically diverse group of fresh and brackish-water Shrimp. ). Popular saltwater shrimp include the cleaner shrimp Lysmata amboinensis, the fire shrimp (Lysmata debelius) and the harlequin shrimp (Hymenocera picta). The northern cleaner shrimp, Lysmata amboinensis, is an omnivorous Shrimp Species, which will generally scavenge and Lysmata debelius (known as the fire shrimp, blood red shrimp or scarlet cleaner shrimp) is an Arthropod that grows to a maximum Gnathophyllid shrimps ( family Gnathophyllidae) are a taxon of Tropical Shrimp in the Superfamily Palaemonoidea.
