==Shrimp and prawns== While Dendrobranchiata and [[Caridea]] belong to different [[Order (biology)|suborder]]s of [[Decapoda]], they are very similar in appearance, and in many contexts such as commercial [[farming]] and [[Fishery|fisheries]], they are both often referred to as "shrimp" and "prawn" interchangeably. In the [[United Kingdom]], [[Australia]] and some other [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]], the word "prawn" is used almost exclusively, while the opposite is the case in [[North America]]. The term "prawn" is also loosely used to describe any large shrimp, especially those that come 15 (or fewer) to the pound (such as "king prawns", yet sometimes known as "jumbo shrimp").
