Penaeidae is a family of marine crustaceans in the suborder Dendrobranchiata, which are often referred to as penaeid shrimp or penaeid prawns.The Penaeidae contain many species of economic importance, such as the tiger prawn, whiteleg shrimp, Atlantic white shrimp, and Indian prawn.

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 reassigned to Fenneropenaeus.

Dendrobranchiata is a suborder of decapods, commonly known as prawns.There are 540 extant species in seven families, and a fossil record extending back to the Devonian.They differ from related animals, such as Caridea and Stenopodidea, by the branching form of the gills and by the fact that they do not brood their eggs, but release them directly into the water.
The marine species are found at depths to 5,000 m (16,000 ft), [2] and from the tropics to the polar regions. In addition to the great variety in habitat, carideans vary greatly in form, from species a few millimetres long when fully grown, [ 3 ] to those that grow to over a foot long. [ 2 ]
