Shrimp and prawns belong to the phylum Arthropoda, the largest phylum in the
animal kingdom, in the class Crustacea, order Decapoda. In the North American
context, the term prawn most commonly describes a large size shrimp, but is also
used in reference to the freshwater variety. Physically they look very similar but
there is one major way to tell them apart. In shrimp, the side plate of the second segment
of the abdomen overlaps the segments in front and behind; prawns have all
the abdominal side plates overlapping tile-like from the front. A more fundamental
difference is that female prawns do not brood eggs, but shed them into the water
currents where they develop independently
