Caridea is an infraorder of decapod crustaceans that includes true shrimp, distinguished from prawns by lamellar gills and the overlapping pattern of the second abdominal segment.[1][2] They inhabit all aquatic environments, with most species marine, though about a quarter occur in fresh water, including the species-rich families Atyidae and Palaemoninae.[3] Two species of commercial importance are Pandalus borealis and Crangon crangon, and carideans inhabit all continents except Antarctica.[3][4]

Key facts and history

The fossil record is sparse, with only 57 exclusively fossil species known, the earliest from the Lower Jurassic and Cretaceous.[5] Carideans are more closely related to lobsters and crabs than to dendrobranchiate prawns, a distinction based on gill structure.[1][2] All naupliar development happens inside the egg for caridean larvae, which emerge as a zoea that consumes phytoplankton.[6] The sea floor is the primary habitat for the majority of adult carideans, which are benthic organisms.[6]

Procarididea, which contains only eleven species, is the sister group to Caridea.[7]

What the cited sources add

The 1980 book "Intertidal Invertebrates of California" by Chace and Abbott, published by Stanford University Press, describes caridean feeding diversity, including filter feeding with setose legs and algae scraping.[8][9] It also states that many cleaner shrimp are carideans, and that carideans host bopyrid parasites.[8][9] According to the same source, Alpheus snapping shrimp produce a shock wave that stuns prey by snapping their claws.[8][9]
