Chinese shrimp
Latin scientific name Fenneropenaeus chinensis, also known as Chinese penaeus, Oriental shrimp, belongs to the arthropod phylum, crustacean, decapoda, shrimp family, shrimp genus. In the past, it was often sold in pairs, so it was called shrimp. The yellowish shrimp caught in China is male shrimp and the blue-colored shrimp is female shrimp, which used to be sold in pairs, so it was called shrimp. There is still a small amount of farming in the north.
Meggie shrimp
The Latin scientific name Penaeus merguiensis, also known as yellow shrimp, large white shrimp, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization collectively called banana shrimp (Banana prawn). The body is pale brownish yellow , and the transparent carapace is thinner. There are 8-9 teeth on the upper margin of the frontal horn and 4-5 teeth on the lower margin. The base of the frontal angle is high and the side view is triangular. The posterior frontal ridge extends near the posterior edge of the cephalothorax without a central groove. It is found in the southern hemisphere from East Africa to Australia, in the northern hemisphere in Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean, and in the coastal areas of Guangdong, Hainan and Guangxi in China. The shrimp body dies quickly after leaving the water, and it is difficult to sell live shrimp, mainly frozen shrimp.
Penaeus vannamei (Penaeus vannamei)
The Latin scientific name Penaeus vannamei, the English name White leg shrimp, or White shrimp, resembles Chinese shrimp and Mergi shrimp. The normal body color is light blue-gray, and the whole body does not have markings. It is mainly distributed in the tropical waters of the Pacific coast in the western United States, from the Gulf of Mexico to central Peru, and is more concentrated in the sea near Ecuador, which is one of the three best breeds in the world with the highest aquaculture production.
Penaeus spp
The Latin scientific name Penaeus indicus, the English name Indian white prawn, is distributed in the Indo-Western Pacific Ocean. The body is translucent , slightly yellowish-white ( small individual ) or grayish-green , with a large number of dark brown dots ; the eyes are light brown with dark brown mesh-like stripes ; the frontal crest and ventral dorsal crest are reddish brown to dark brown ; the first antennae are the same color as the body and covered with dark spots ; the legs are transparent , slightly white , the gastropods are yellow to pink ; and the tail limbs are yellow with red edges. At present, the main culture of White Shrimp is Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Iran and India. Please see its short tentacles, which are patterned, and whether they are somewhat similar.
Shrimp (Penaeus monocytosis)
The Latin scientific name is Litopenaeus stylirostris, also known as South American blue shrimp, blue shrimp, English name Blue shrimp or Pacific blue shrimp. In the United States, it is also known as Mexican Blue Shrimp and Super Shrimp. It is found along the Pacific coast of Latin America, mainly along the Coasts of Peru and mexico. It is similar to Penaeus vannamei , with a thin and transparent carapace , a smooth surface , a light blue body color , and no markings all over the body. The frontal horns are straighter, the ends are thin and slightly upturned. The diet is close to that of Penaeus vannamei and was once positioned as a high-grade shrimp species, which is priced higher than penaeus monodon and Penaeus vannamei.
The Oceanic Institute (O.I) in the United States has bred and screened The South American blue shrimp, and then turned to focus on the development of a wider range of adaptations of the South American white shrimp, the original species of south American blue shrimp was handed over to the Brunei National Fisheries Bureau Seed Experiment Center (Semaun Holding) to continue breeding, and then introduced to many Asian countries such as Myanmar, Indonesia, Singapore and other countries, China has been introduced to trial culture around 2000, But now, apart from the formation of small industries in Brunei, the south American blue shrimp experiment in these countries has not been very successful and has not had much impact on the aquaculture industry in these countries.
Penaeus monodon
The Latin scientific name Penaeus monodon, commonly known as ghost shrimp, grass shrimp, Diamond spotted shrimp, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization commonly known as Black tiger shrimp (Black tiger shrimp), is the largest species of shrimp in the genus. At present, there is still a certain amount of aquaculture in the south, which is a species with high economic value among shrimp cultured species.
Japanese shrimp
The Latin scientific name Penaeus japonicus, commonly known as: flower shrimp, bamboo shrimp, flower tail shrimp, car shrimp. The body is pale yellow with a bluish-brown transverse stripe pattern and a bright blue tip. The carapace is thicker, the frontal horn is slightly curved and arched, and the upper edge has 8-10 teeth and the lower edge has 1-2 teeth. The meat is delicious, resistant to dry dew, suitable for live transportation and marketing. As an important cultured species, there is artificial culture along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong in southern China. It is found in Hokkaido, Japan and the southern Yellow Sea, Zhejiang, Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, the Philippines, Singapore, northern Australia, India, eastern Africa and the Red Sea. Again, I would like to remind you that Xiaobian is already very tired, and don't be stupid enough to distinguish between Japanese shrimp and penneus monodon.
Knife-fronted new shrimp
Latin scientific name: Metapenaeus ensis, also known as kiwi shrimp, sand shrimp, hemp shrimp, tiger shrimp, red claw shrimp, native to China, Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia. One of its main features is that the frontal horn protrusion (called the frontal sword) has serrations on the upper edge and no serrations on the lower edge, because the single-sided blade is counted as a knife, which is the origin of its scientific name, and it is one of the distinguishing features that distinguish it from the genus P. Shrimp is mainly distributed in Fujian, Taiwan and Guangdong, Guangxi coastal areas in China, its delicious taste, has a high economic value, while low salt, high water temperature and low dissolved oxygen have a strong tolerance ability, away from the water can also be a long time after not dying, suitable for live shrimp marketing.
In the past, the knife-fronted new shrimp was grown in the paddy field-based fence, so it was called "base fence", so the knife-fronted new shrimp was the authentic base shrimp, don't be stupid and confused. There are very few new shrimp farming knives (there are a small number of them in the Pearl River Delta), and what you see in the market can be said to be fake.
Pinctada longifolia
Latin scientific name Penaeus penicillatus, also known as red-tailed shrimp, red shrimp, the body is pale brownish yellow, the upper edge of the frontal horn 7-8 teeth, the lower edge of the 4-6 teeth. The shell is thinner, and the lateral view at the base of the frontal horn is higher than that of Chinese shrimp and lower than that of Penaeus megyi. The posterior frontal ridge extends near the posterior edge of the cephalothorax without a central groove. The first antennal whip is slightly longer than the cephalothorax, and the third jaw of the male shrimp has long brush-like hairs. It is native to the East China Sea, the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, Japan, the Philippines and other places. The shrimp is more resistant to low temperatures than other southern shrimp species, and grows faster at lower temperatures, so the breeding area is wider, and it was previously the breeding object of Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and other coastal areas.
Hastelloy pseudo-shrimp
The Latin scientific name Parapenaeopsis hardwickii, commonly known as slippery shrimp, choking shrimp. Shrimp family, imitation shrimp genus, its body shape is similar to shrimp, and the individual is large, delicious meat, people like to eat. It is 60–95 mm long, the carapace is thick and hard, and there are soft hairs in the surface grooves. The frontal horns are long, the ends are pointed, the upper margin of the base is slightly raised, and the middle is curved downwards. The eyes are large, waist-shaped, oblique, and the eye stalk is thick and short. Because of its similar body shape to shrimp, it is called pseudo-shrimp.
Shrimp broad groove
The Latin scientific name Penaeus latisulcatus, the body surface is smooth, light earth yellow. The tail limbs are sky blue at the end of the limbs, and the body does not have bright horizontal color grooves. The posterior frontal ridge and central sulcus extend almost to the posterior edge of the cephalothorax. The lateral sulcus of the frontal horn is deep and wide, extending to the posterior margin of the cephalothorax. The lateral margin of the caudal segment has 3 pairs of movable spines. The base of the female junction is wider than the anterior part, and the opening is a central longitudinal fissure.
