Shrimp are widespread and can be found near the seafloor of most coasts and estuaries, as well as in rivers and lakes. There are numerous species, and usually, there is a species adapted to any particular habitat. Most shrimp species are marine, although about a quarter of the described species are found in fresh water. Marine species are found at depths of up to 5,000 meters (16,000 feet), and from the tropics to the Polar Regions.
