Are Vannamei shrimp the same as Ecuadorian white shrimp?

Vannamei white shrimp and Ecuadorian white shrimp are actually the same kind of shrimp. They are the same, but they have different origins and farming methods. The scientific name of South American white shrimp is Penaeus-Vanmamei, also known as white-leg-Shrimp, commonly known as "white shrimp, green shrimp, white shrimp". They usually inhabit the muddy seabed, crawling or lurking on the surface of the seafloor during the day, and are active at night. Ecuadorian white shrimp does not refer to the white shrimp in Ecuador, but a species of shrimp, also known as vannamei. Therefore, there is no difference in population classification between South American white shrimp and Ecuadorian white shrimp, but the local farming model in Ecuador is very different from that in China.
