The Chinese white shrimp, oriental shrimp, or fleshy prawn (Fenneropenaeus chinensis) is a species of shrimp. It is cultivated at an industrial level off mainland China. Production was devastated by a series of epidemics in the 1990s and early 2000s.[2] Its wild capture has since recovered and expanded, but it is now farmed at lower levels than previously.[1]
It was formerly known as Cancer chinensis, Penaeus chinensis and Penaeus orientalis,[1] but has been re-assigned to Fenneropenaeus.
