Min. Order: 1 Piece

vannamei grows to a maximum length of 230 mm (9.1 in), with a carapace length of 90 mm (3.5 in). Adults live in the ocean, at depths to 72 m (236 ft), while juveniles live in estuaries. The rostrum is moderately long, with 7–10 teeth on the dorsal side and two to four teeth on the ventral side. White shrimp are rather large, sometimes reaching 25 cm (10 in) in length. They have dark brown antennae that are considerably longer than the shrimp's body. Their horn, or rostrum, is long and thin, and three of their five pairs of walking legs end in weak pincers. Penaeus vannamei is a penaeid shrimp. Family characteristics include movable chelae (claws) on the first three pairs of walking legs and a third thoracic segment which never overlaps with the second (Williams 1984).
