Shrimp are swimming crustaceans with long narrow muscular abdomens and long antennae.Unlike crabs and lobsters, shrimp have well developed pleopods (swimmerets) and slender walking legs; they are more adapted for swimming than walking. Historically, it was the distinction between walking and swimming that formed the primary taxonomic division into the former suborders Natantia and Reptantia.Shrimp refers to small, decapod crustacea.Shrimp are mainly found in three groups Caridea, Procarididea, and Dendrobranchiata.There are thousands of species, and usually there is a species adapted to any particular habitat.Any small crustacean which resembles a shrimp tends to be called one.
