Penaeus prawns, also known as Penaeus prawns, generally live in sea areas with sandy bottoms, sandy mud bottoms, and mud bottoms.

It is distributed within a depth range of 50 meters along the coast, and is more abundant within 10 meters. New Penaeus prawns have a wide adaptability range to water temperature and are distributed in sea areas between 8 and 29°C. The optimal breeding water temperature is 18-25°C. New Penaeus prawn is a euryhaline species, with a salinity ranging from 0‰ to 34‰. The feeding habits are very mixed, mainly preying on benthic organisms, and also eating bottom plankton and nekton.

The domestic production areas are mainly south of the Yangtze River, the most important ones being Guangdong and Fujian provinces. Mainly distributed on the east coast of Japan, and widely distributed in the coastal waters south of the Shandong Peninsula in China. It is also distributed in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia.

Extended information

Because the growth of shrimp has requirements on water temperature and salinity, the temperature must be maintained between 24°C and 27°C, and can only be grown in seawater or fresh salt water. They grow in a certain environment, and the growth rate of shrimp is relatively slow. Therefore, shrimps in the north do not grow very big, and few people breed them.

The growth environment of Penaeus vannamei is more relaxed than that of shrimp. It can be cultured in pure fresh water, light salt water or sea water, thus breaking the geographical restrictions and can be cultured all over the country. Compared with Penaeus vannamei, Penaeus vannamei is more famous and recognized by people, but ordinary people and even traders are not particularly clear about the types of shrimp.

Because most shrimps can only be purchased from Guangdong and Fujian, while white shrimps can be cultured in Qingdao.
