The Chinese white shrimp, oriental shrimp, or fleshy prawn is a species of shrimp. It is cultivated at an industrial level off mainland China. Production was devastated by a series of epidemics in the 1990s and early 2000s. Its wild capture has since recovered and expanded, but it is now farmed at lower levels than previously.
It was formerly known as Cancer chinensis, Penaeus chinensis and Penaeus orientalis, but has been reassigned to Fenneropenaeus.
