. From the name, we can find that freshwater shrimp and seawater shrimp live in different water bodies. Freshwater shrimps mainly live in rivers, lakes and other freshwater environments, while marine shrimps mainly live in the ocean.
marine shrimps is usually larger, the overall color is darker, the limbs are thicker, and they look more robust. Freshwater shrimp, on the other hand, look more slender and transparent, and are relatively small in size.
common species of marine shrimps are Penaeus chinensis, Penaeus indicus and Penaeus monodon. Common freshwater shrimps mainly include Macrobrachium nipponense, Macrobrachium hainanense, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, and Procambarus clarkii.
because it lives in the sea, so seawater shrimp is rich in protein and minerals, among which iodine content is relatively high, which is of great benefit to human health. At the same time, the taste of shrimp is more delicious and less fishy. In today's poor freshwater quality, freshwater shrimp is more likely to accumulate harmful substances such as heavy metals than seawater shrimp because of environmental factors. At the same time, freshwater shrimp has a stronger earthy taste than seawater shrimp.
. Generally speaking, the price of seawater shrimp is higher than that of freshwater shrimp. This is because the cost and difficulty of breeding marine shrimp are higher than those of freshwater shrimp. The quality of seawater shrimp is also better, so the price of seawater shrimp is generally higher than that of freshwater shrimp.
