Prawns and shrimp

1. Prawns and shrimp are among the most popular types of seafood. The meat has a sweet, delicate flavor and is
considered to be a healthy diet choice . They are a rich source of calcium, protein and antioxidants like selenium.
Prawns belong to the crustacean family, macrobrachium genus and suborder dendrobrachiata. The genus
Macrobrachium consists of about 200 species. They resemble shrimp as well as lobster, with narrow body and long legs.
Prawns are salt water creatures but they migrate to fresh water to spawn. There is confusion with regards to
terminology, as shrimps are also referred to prawns; but the term prawns should be reserved to the fresh water
palaemonids. In United Kingdom and other European countries the term "prawns" is commonly used whereas term
"shrimp" is used in North America.
Several different types of prawns are found in both seawater and fresh water and they are also widely farmed in various
countries. Freshwater prawn farming is an aquaculture business designed to raise and produce freshwater prawns for
human consumption as well as decorative intent. China is the leader in production of prawns although a lot of southeast
Asian countries also produce prawns.
