Sea shrimp to white shrimp as the main species, river shrimp to marsh shrimp as the main species, they all belong to the long arm shrimp family, the appearance is very similar, but its taste and texture is quite different, so the market price is also a big difference.

White shrimp, also known as wobbly shrimp, spring shrimp, the whole body clad in armor, the abdomen of the second section of the carapace covered in the first section of the outside of the abdominal armor, there are two short whiskers, the body white and transparent, slightly blue or red speckles, the shell is very thin, but relatively hard, the shrimp body is slightly flattened sideways, the shell ridge is slightly ribbed.

Marsh shrimp, also known as green shrimp, wood shrimp, the whole body is also covered with armor, but before the footsteps have chelae, pincer-like, especially the second pair of footsteps is very thick, its length is more than two times the length of the body, and strong and powerful, can be used to attack and defend against enemies. The body of the shrimp is lime green with brown markings, the shell is very thin and soft, the shrimp body is cylindrical, the shell ridge is rounded. The shrimp meat is translucent jade color, after cooking than the white shrimp crystal bright, taste more elastic and smooth and tender.

In addition, the marsh shrimp head chest wide, and the ratio of the body is larger than the white shrimp. The breasts are also much fuller and fatter than those of white shrimp.
