Shrimps [Caridea]

Description

Caridea, commonly known as shrimps, are a diverse group of small, swimming crustaceans found in nearly all marine and freshwater environments. They play crucial roles in the food web as both predators and prey. Shrimps have a segmented body, elongated antennae, and are known for their rapid escape response, shooting backward quickly by flexing their abdomen.
