Part 4/9:
The environments where shrimp and prawns thrive also differ significantly. Shrimp are known to inhabit both saltwater and freshwater ecosystems, making them widely available across oceans, rivers, and lakes. Conversely, prawns are typically found in warmer waters and prefer freshwater or brackish environments, predominantly flourishing in regions with warmer climates such as parts of Asia, Australia, and Africa.
These habitat preferences not only impact their ecological behavior but also influence their farming and harvesting practices, which can affect price and availability in different markets.
