 prawnPrawns are decapod crustaceans, belonging to the sub-order Dendrobranchiata. The term 'prawn' is also used in various contexts for other animals, especially caridean shrimp. They are found worldwide and include commercially significant species, such as the whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, Atlantic white shrimp Penaeus setiferus, Indian prawn Fenneropenaeus indicus and tiger prawn Penaeus monodon. The terms shrimp and prawn themselves lack scientific standing. Over the years, the way shrimp and prawn are used has changed, and nowadays the terms are almost interchangeable. [Wikipedia]
