the difference

1. Different living habits

Green shrimp is a pure freshwater shrimp, which is distributed almost all over the country. Among them, the ones produced in Baiyangdian area of ​​Hebei Province and Taihu Lake of Jiangsu Province are the most famous. There are two types of shrimps: sedentary and migratory. The former live in shallow coastal waters, often diving into the sandy bottom during the day and do not move over a large area; the latter live in turbid waters along estuaries and often move and migrate over a large area.

1. Different prices

The difference between red shrimp and green shrimp is also the size. Green shrimp is larger than red shrimp, and the price of the two is also very different. Green shrimp has tender meat and soft shell, but it is not easy to transport over long distances, and the mortality rate is higher than that of red shrimp.

2. Different colors

Red shrimps are called red shrimps because of their red skin. The difference between red shrimps and green shrimps is that red shrimps taste a bit earthy and not very fresh. Green shrimps are tender and delicious, rich in nutrition, and contain 16.40 grams of protein per 100 grams of edible part. Nutritionists believe that it has a certain brain-boosting function. Green shrimps taste fresher than red shrimps and do not have an earthy smell.

the difference

1. Different physical characteristics

Shrimp is an arthropod with a body length of 15-20 cm and a thin and transparent shell. The whiskers on the second pair of antennae are very long. The meat is delicious and is one of my country's specialties. It is mainly produced in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Bay. In the past, it was often sold in pairs in the market, so it is called prawns. It is also called prawns. Green shrimp, also known as river shrimp, is scientifically known as Japanese swamp shrimp. It is named because of its blue-green and translucent body color.

2. Different population distribution

Prawns are mainly distributed in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea in China, Lushun, Liaoning, Hebei, Shandong Province and the coastal areas of Tianjin. They are important production areas of prawns. Green shrimps are also called river shrimps, swamp shrimps, and Japanese swamp shrimps. They are a major economic shrimp species widely distributed in freshwater waters. They are rich in nutrients, tender and delicious, and are a precious aquatic product that is deeply loved by people. Green shrimps are widely distributed in my country, including Jiangsu, Anhui, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, Hebei, Henan, Shandong Tianjin, Yunnan and other places. They live widely in freshwater lakes, rivers, ponds, and swamps. The green shrimps produced in Baiyangdian, Hebei Province, Taihu Lake, Jiangsu, and Weishan Lake, Shandong are the most famous.

3. Different ecological habits

Shrimp can be divided into sedentary types (such as Japanese shrimp, broad-grooved shrimp, European shrimp, Bohai shrimp, etc.) and migratory types (such as Chinese shrimp, black shrimp, long-haired shrimp). The former live in shallow coastal waters and often dive into the sandy bottom during the day without making large-scale movements; the latter live in turbid waters along estuaries and often move and migrate in large areas. Shrimp mainly feed on benthic invertebrates, such as polychaetes, small crustaceans and bivalve mollusks, and sometimes also catch zooplankton.

Macrobrachium sphaeroides are omnivorous aquatic animals, partial to animal feed, and are mainly fed with commercial feed in artificial breeding. The most suitable water temperature for their growth is 18-30℃. When the water temperature drops to 4℃, they enter the wintering period. When the water temperature rises above 10℃, their vitality increases and their feeding gradually increases. They live on the bottom and like to live in slow-flowing places with dense aquatic plants. The water depth they live in ranges from 1-2 meters to 6-7 meters. In summer and autumn, macrobrachium sphaeroides forage and reproduce in shallow waters near the shore. In winter, they move to deeper water areas to hibernate, and rarely eat or move.
