What are the types and names of shrimp?

1. Prawns: refers specifically to the shrimps produced in the Jiwei area. They come from small streams and creeks close to the coastal areas. Fishermen bring in a lot of water from the rivers and creeks, and the sperm and eggs of mantis shrimps are already on the sea surface. They are raised together and grow together to produce prawns.

2. Sea shrimps: From the description of prawns, we know that the sea shrimps on the seabed and the shrimps in the river belong to the same type.

3. Bamboo shrimp: also known as flower shrimp, bamboo shrimp, tiger shrimp, Japanese shrimp, similar to tiger shrimp.

6. Grass shrimp: Grass shrimp is very familiar to everyone. It is also known as "big prawn" and is one of the eight delicacies of our country.

Main categories

Shrimp are divided into marine shrimp and freshwater shrimp according to their production sources. Marine shrimp, also called red shrimp, include lobsters and prawns, among which prawns are the most delicious, and are considered a medium- and high-quality seafood. The common European shrimp in the North Atlantic (also known as the common brown shrimp) is about 8 cm (3.5 in.) long and 18 cm (7 in.) long.

1. Chinese shrimp

Chinese prawns are also called Oriental prawns, prawns, yellow prawns, etc. They were often sold in pairs in the past, so they are called prawns. Chinese prawns are mainly distributed in Liaoning, Hebei, Shandong Province, Tianjin and other coastal areas in China. Prawns are tender and delicious. They are generally processed into dried shrimps and other seafood products. They are often made into local snacks such as braised prawns in oil. They are also the main export products of Chinese aquatic products.

2. Chinese hair shrimp

Chinese hair shrimp, also known as hair shrimp, water shrimp, small white shrimp, etc., is a species unique to China. It has the characteristics of rapid growth, short life cycle, strong reproductive capacity, fast generational renewal, weak swimming ability, and has the characteristics of vertical movement during the day and night and horizontal movement during the seasons. It is distributed along the coast of China, with the largest production along the Bohai Sea coast. The main producing areas are the coasts of Liaoning, Shandong, Hebei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian.

3. Penaeus vannamei

The scientific name of Penaeus vannamei is Penaeus vannamei, and its common names include white shrimp, green shrimp (note that it conflicts with the common name of shrimp), and white shrimp. In some northern regions, it is also called mud shrimp (note that it conflicts with the common name of new shrimp, which is more common in North China). It is very different from Chinese white shrimp in appearance, and it is very difficult to accurately distinguish the two. The subtle difference is the length of the forehead sword and shrimp whiskers. In terms of price, the price of white shrimp may be only a fraction of that of Chinese white shrimp, which can also be used to make a certain distinction.

4. Macrobrachium rosenbergii

The rosenbergii shrimp is a freshwater shrimp, but its fry must grow in brackish water (semi-seawater areas, such as the estuaries of freshwater rivers). During the breeding season, female shrimps will bring their eggs to brackish water areas. After the eggs hatch, the fry grow here as zooplankton, and after several metamorphosis, they become adult shrimps, and then return to fresh water to live on their own.

5. Crayfish

Crayfish is a freshwater economic shrimp. It looks like a shrimp but has a hard shell. It is widely popular among people because of its delicious meat. Crayfish is an omnivorous animal with the characteristics of fast growth rate and strong adaptability. It has an absolute competitive advantage in the local ecological environment and has become an important economic aquaculture species in China.

6. Mantis shrimp

Mantis shrimp is also called shrimp, mantis shrimp, crayfish, etc. It often lives in shallow muddy seabed, coastal shallow mud sand or reef cracks. It is produced in coastal areas of my country. Mantis shrimp has very full meat, low price and delicious taste. It is deeply loved by people in coastal areas. Mantis shrimp is usually eaten between January and March every year, and can often be seen on the table.

Why are mantis shrimps no longer pleasing to the eye?

Mantis shrimp is a seafood creature that we humans really cannot control. Even if someone tries to breed it, there is no way to achieve a high yield, and it also requires a lot of money. At present, many of the so-called artificial breeding we are talking about are purchased in coastal areas, and finally they are placed in special ponds for large state-owned enterprises, and finally transported alive to various cities. In fact, some people are trying to breed mantis shrimp, but the risk is relatively large. Because the habits of mantis shrimp are very different from other seafood, it will be in deep water areas when breeding to avoid being disturbed by the outside world. If it is artificially bred, it is difficult to create such an environment, and the shrimp seedlings are very fragile, and problems may occur during transportation.

According to many professional farmers who breed mantis shrimp, this creature has relatively high requirements for water quality. When preparing to breed it, a lot of preparation work needs to be done. For example, protection management and disinfection in the breeding pond are very important. We not only need to build a pool of more than ten meters, but also install a protective net around the pool, because mantis shrimp is a creature with strong attack power and may suddenly escape during the growth period. In addition to this, water temperature is also very important. Generally speaking, it grows in waters between 5 degrees Celsius and 33 degrees Celsius, so the temperature of the pool is best controlled at this temperature, a temperature suitable for their growth, and feed must be prepared, which is also very strict.
