SHRIMP SPECIES

Shellfish are a type of aquatic organism that have a shell or hard exoskeleton. They are typically found in both saltwater and freshwater environments. Examples of shellfish include crustaceans (such as shrimp, crab, and lobster) and mollusks (such as clams, oysters, mussels, and scallops). Shellfish are known for their distinct shells and are often harvested for their meat, which is consumed.
