        [Place name] prawns, prawns, meat shrimp, yellow shrimp (male), green shrimp (female), prawns.

 

        [Morphological features] The body is large and laterally flat. Female body length 18~24cm, male body length 13~17cm. The carapace is thin, smooth and transparent, the female is bluish blue, and the male is brownish yellow. Usually the female shrimp individual is larger than the male shrimp. The whole body of the prawn is composed of 20 sections, 5 sections of the head, 8 sections of the chest and 7 sections of the abdomen. Except for the caudal segment, each segment has a pair of appendages. There are 5 pairs of step feet, the first 3 pairs are pliers-shaped, and the last 2 pairs are claw-shaped. The central protrusion of the anterior edge of the head breastnail forms the frontal horn. The upper and lower margins of the frontal horn are serrated.

 

        [Origin, production season] mainly distributed in China's Yellow Sea and the western coast of North Korea. China's Liaoning, Hebei, Shandong and Tianjin coastal areas are important producing areas of shrimp. The fishing season used to be spring and autumn, with spring flood from April to June and autumn flood from September to October. Mid-to-late October is the flood season.

 

        At the end of 70 years, China's aquatic science and technology workers broke through the artificial breeding technology of prawns and solved the problem of artificial breeding of prawns. At present, the production of Chinese prawns has been carried out along the coast of China from Dandong City in Liaoning Province in the north to Hainan in the south, with an annual output of about 200000 tons, which greatly exceeds the fishing capacity in natural waters.

 

[Economic Value] Fresh food can be cooked with braised prawns, fried prawns, shrimp segments, pipa prawns, fried shrimps, etc. It is processed to make dried shrimps, shrimps and other seafood. Chinese shrimp is the main product of China's aquatic products export.

China's southern coastal aquaculture 120~150 days, body length of up to 12cm or more. Compared with other southern shrimp species, the shrimp is more resistant to low temperature and grows faster at lower temperatures, so the culture area is wider and it is a better late-season culture species in the south with better economic benefits. The shell of long-haired shrimp is thin and vulnerable to mechanical damage. Nutritional value is similar to other shrimp.
