Shrimp shells are different: the shell of artificially cultured shrimp is very thin and will not be hidden in sand and mud, while the shell of sea shrimp is very hard. It is also elastic, because it lives in the natural environment and needs to feed on its own and fight against natural enemies, so its shell is hard.

Shrimp guns are different: the shrimp guns of marine shrimp are short, thick and very hard, while the shrimp guns of shrimp farming are relatively soft. The tentacles of cultured shrimp are longer, while those of wild shrimp are shorter.

Different heads: the heads of sea shrimps vary in size, because when they are caught in the net, the heads of cultured shrimps are relatively uniform. Except for a few smaller species, most wild sea shrimps are sold chilled.
