Crangon crangon

Crustaceans

Crangon crangon is a species of caridean shrimp found across the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, ranging from the White Sea in northern Russia to the coast of Morocco and including the Baltic, Mediterranean and Black Seas. Also known as the brown shrimp or common shrimp, it typically grows 30 to 50 millimeters long and shows sandy brown coloration that helps it blend into the sandy or muddy seabed. It is a nocturnal feeder that buries itself in sediment during the day and lives in shallow coastal and estuarine waters.
