Shrimp: Characteristics, habitat and nutritional value

Exploring the World of Shrimp

The prawn, scientifically known as Penaeus kerathurus, is a decapod crustacean that shares similarities with the shrimp and prawn, belonging to the Penaeidae family. This exquisite seafood, with its laterally compressed body and pronounced tail, is highly prized in gastronomy for its delicious flavor and versatility in the kitchen. One of the distinctive characteristics of the crayfish is sexual dimorphism. Males exhibit a light color with pink bands on the abdomen, while females show yellow-green tones with brown bands, often edged in red. Their size can vary between 8 and 25 cm in length, with the largest specimens being the most valued on the market.

As for its habitat, the crayfish lives in sandy bottoms, mainly between 5 and 90 meters deep, although it is more common to find it from 20 meters. It feeds on a variety of marine organisms, including molluscs, worms and algae. Although its main distribution spans the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, it is found in seas all over the world, and is also cultivated in coastal areas to meet growing market demand. The fishing gears used to catch the crayfish are capture, gillnetting, and traps and traps.

In addition to its exquisite taste, shrimp is an excellent source of essential nutrients. Rich in protein and low in calories due to its low fat content, it is an ideal choice for those looking to maintain a balanced diet. It stands out for its contribution of iodine, phosphorus, selenium, calcium and vitamins B12 and B3. However, it is important to take into account the relatively high content of cholesterol in special diets.

The cuttlefish is an extraordinary creature with ten tentacles, a prominent member of the Sepiida family. Its habitat extends to shallow seas, often near the coast and up to 150 meters deep. The ability to partially bury itself in the seabed is one of its fascinating characteristics, allowing it to adapt and survive in its natural environment.

These masters of disguise adjust their color according to the environment and threats, offering a unique visual spectacle in the underwater world.

The capture of cuttlefish is an art that has evolved over time. From trawling to the use of pots and traps, fishermen have perfected methods that respect the ecological balance and guarantee the sustainability of this valuable species. Tradition combines with skill in cuttlefish fishing.

Cuttlefish not only delights the palate, but is also a rich source of essential nutrients. Its iodine content makes it a crucial ally for child development, as well as for hair and nail health care.

Sole, the king of the flatfishes

One of the most widely consumed white fish in many parts of the world.

Sole (Solea vulgaris), also called common sole, is a species of flatfish of the soleidae family.

The body is ovoid and flattened on both sides, protected by small scales. It has a small, semicircular mouth, with nostrils in its blind area. Its dorsal and anal fins are almost joined to the tail by a membrane. And, when it senses that it is in danger, it flaps its fins to cover itself with sand and bury itself completely.

During the day it remains almost motionless as it is mainly nocturnal. The female lays between 100,000 and 150,000 eggs of 1.5 mm in diameter.

It inhabits the Spanish Atlantic coasts, the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It is found on sandy or muddy bottoms at a depth of 100 m, and in temperate temperatures.

The fishing season runs from January to April. The fishing gear used to catch them are gill nets and trawls.

Its flesh is firm, succulent, with a light fat content and very easy to flake, and it is considered a white fish with multiple health benefits.
