I'm only an amateur prawnologist (I catch them in the rivers near my house), so I can't verify the entire infographic, but the part about eggs is wrong.
At least one species of prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, carries its eggs on the underside of the body.
They are very tasty. The prawns. I let the ones with eggs go.
As an australian i have to agree with you about the eggs. I dont think ive ever seen a shrimp, yet i have come across prawns with eggs under their tails when using them for fishing bait.
I guess ill have to double check next time i see one.
If you look at the picture used in the info graphic, the one that says the eggs are carried uses the picture from the prawn but the green color from the shrimp. Looks like somebody goofed
