shrimp

Shrimp are small, aquatic crustaceans with elongated bodies, a hard exoskeleton, and a fan-shaped tail. They live in both freshwater and saltwater environments and play a key role in many aquatic ecosystems. Shrimp are characterized by their segmented bodies, jointed legs, and gills for breathing. They are important economically, serving as a popular seafood around the world. Shrimp are omnivorous, feeding on algae, plankton, and organic debris. Their ability to reproduce quickly and adapt to various habitats makes them resilient, but they also face threats from overfishing and habitat loss.
