Shrimp Larvae

Shrimp an lobster have similar textures and look similar because at the larval stage, shrimp and lobster are exactly the same. The climate in which they are raised determines whether they will grow to be shrimp or lobster. Shrimp prefer warmer climates while lobster prefer colder ones.
