The Asian tiger shrimp, also known as the giant tiger prawn, is an important marine crustacean subjected to intense fishery, distinguishing itself from the native American shrimp by their distinctive black and white banding across their back and tail. Widely reared for food, the tiger shrimp can become a potential threat to the marine ecosystems, along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts, according to ecologists.
