Pandalus borealis is a species of caridean shrimp found in cold waters of the northern Atlantic and northern Pacific Oceans, though the Pacific population is now often regarded as a separate species, P. eous. The Food and Agriculture Organization refers to it as the northern prawn, and it is also known by many other common names, including pink shrimp, deepwater prawn, deep-sea prawn, Nordic shrimp, great northern prawn, coldwater prawn and Maine shrimp.
