Shrimp
Shrimp are crustaceans (a form of shellfish) with elongated bodies and a primarily swimming mode of locomotion – most commonly Caridea and Dendrobranchiata of the decapod order, although some crustaceans outside of this order are referred to as "shrimp". More narrow definitions may be restricted to Caridea, to smaller species of either group or to only the marine species. Under a broader definition, ''shrimp'' may be synonymous with prawn, covering stalk-eyed swimming crustaceans with long, narrow muscular tails (abdomens), long whiskers ( antennae), and slender legs. Any small crustacean which resembles a shrimp tends to be called one. They swim forward by paddling with swimmerets on the underside of their abdomens, although their escape response is typically repeated flicks with the tail driving them backwards very quickly. Crabs and lobsters have strong walking legs, whereas shrimp have thin, fragile legs which they use primarily for perching.Rudloe & Rudloe (2009 ...

Palaemonidae
Palaemonidae is a family of shrimp in the order Decapoda. Many species are carnivores that eat small invertebrates, and can be found in any aquatic habitat except the deep sea. One significant genus is ''Macrobrachium'', which contains commercially fished species. Others inhabit coral reefs, where they associate with certain invertebrates, such as sponges, cnidarians, mollusks, and echinoderms, as cleaner shrimps, parasites, or commensals. They generally feed on detritus, though some are carnivores and hunt tiny animals. The family contains more than 1200 species in 160 genera. The genera were formerly split into two subfamilies, but in 2015, molecular and morphological research determined that the subfamily groupings were invalid. At the same time, the members of the families Gnathophyllidae and Hymenoceridae were incorporated into the Palaemonidae. Genera The following genera are recognised: *'' Actinimenes'' *'' Alburnia'' *'' Allopontonia'' *'' Altopontonia'' *' ...

Palaemonoidea
Palaemonoidea is a large superfamily of shrimp, containing nearly 1,000 species. The position of the family Typhlocarididae is unclear, although the monophyly of a group containing the remaining seven families is well supported. *Anchistioididae Borradaile, 1915 * Desmocarididae Borradaile, 1915 *Euryrhynchidae Holthuis, 1950 *Gnathophyllidae Dana, 1852 *Hymenoceridae Ortmann, 1890 *Kakaducarididae Bruce, 1993 *Palaemonidae Rafinesque, 1815 *Typhlocarididae Annandale & Kemp, 1913 Image:Gnathophyllum americanum Réunion.JPG, ''Gnathophyllum americanum'', a Palaemonidae Image:Harlequin Shrimp 1.jpg, ''Hymenocera picta'', the only Hymenoceridae Image:Emperor Shrimp - Periclimenes imperator.jpg, ''Periclimenes imperator'', a Palaemonidae Image:Typhlocaris ayyaloni cropped.jpg, ''Typhlocaris ayyaloni'', a Typhlocarididae ''Typhlocaris'' is a genus of blind cave-dwelling shrimp, placed in its own family, Typhlocarididae.
