Abstract

The confusion in the usage of terms “prawn” and “shrimp” is existing since a long time among the common people as well as the scientific community. It is hard to differentiate between these two based on their size, habitat, texture, nutritional value etc. as there are no existing standards to classify these two into separate groups. In reality, both the terms are widely and similarly used in all arenas of fisheries whether it is capture, culture, post-harvest or in the trade and do not have any particular scientific basis.
