What the northerners say about Neopenaeus monodon is not the same as what the southerners say about Neopenaeus monodon?
So what exactly is this prawn? Many people actually don't know much about it, and many people have seen it. It seems that the prawns in the south are different from those in the north. Is there any misunderstanding? In fact, for this kind of prawn, it is not an alias for shrimp, but in the coastal area of Guangdong Province, we built some building fences around it to avoid being damaged by seawater, but these shrimps like this natural environment very much and will lay eggs in this natural environment, so they are named like this.
What exactly is prawn? If you throw this situation at me, maybe you will be confused. Shrimp. Isn't this prawn? Do you know, in fact, the prawns mentioned in the northeast are not the same dish as those mentioned in the north? The name prawn means that the core is not a kind of shrimp.
"metapenaeus ensis" is not another name for shrimp, but a farmland in Linhai, Guangdong. Because the farmland is close to the sea, in order to prevent the seawater from rushing into the ground and damaging the farmland, dams were built around the farmland. However, some shrimps like to live by the sea. At low tide, they buried the bodies in the sea, exposing only their eyes and skulls and inhaling until the sea level rose. Then, with the help of the sea, they can reach the gentle embankment, where they lay eggs and prey.
But once this shrimp reaches the embankment, fishermen in coastal areas can easily find it. In the long run, people see that this kind of lobster has this strange character, so they create a "base enclosure" method to raise sea shrimp and pass it on from generation to generation. Shrimp caught in the "base enclosure" is called prawn. Later, prawn fishing was also popular in the northern region, and prawns also appeared in the northern region.
There is no doubt that the species of prawns caught in this way are completely different, which is why the prawns in the northeast are completely different from those in the south. The prawns mentioned by the northeast people refer to those with zebra stripes all over their bodies and some blue shrimps on their small tails. In fact, they are all Japanese grass shrimp cultured in seawater, also known as flower-tailed shrimp and spotted shrimp, which are characterized by striped patterns.
The prawn mentioned by northerners is the earliest sea lobster caught by Guangdong fishermen, and it is called "Neoprawn with a knife", also known as prawn. This kind of shrimp has a soft shell and a small body. The head of shrimp is covered with brown spots. Two long and thin shrimps must prove that it is an animal from the sea. This kind of shrimp should be cultured in seawater, but because of its strong integration ability, there are now a large number of new shrimps used for freshwater fish culture.
In that case, is the prawn a seawater prawn or a freshwater prawn? Due to the improvement of people's professional skills in shrimp culture, many shrimps that used to live on the sea surface can already survive in water. It used to be natural freshwater prawn and Japanese grass prawn, but now there are records of artificial culture in water. More importantly, northern prawns are farmed artificially, while some southern prawns are wild.
