Shrimps are decapod crustaceans with long, slender bodies and an essentially benthic swimming mode of movement - most frequently Caridinae and Dendrobanchia. More narrowly defined categories may be limited to either Caridinae, of either group or only the freshwater species. There are at least eight known types of shrimp, three of which are described here. They range in size from the smallest ones that can be seen in water all over the world to those that reach lengths of about four inches in length. Shrimp are also called tunicates. They are divided into three subspecies: the terrestrial species, which live on land; the aquatic species, which live in brackish water; and the suborder marine, which live in the ocean. Tunicates are found in saltwater habitats. Increasing demand for shrimps due to health benefits is expected to drive growth of the global shrimp market during the forecast period.

A pyrethroid, otherwise known as a pyrethrum, is an artificial organic compound derived from the flowers of pyrethroids. These are generally used in pest control and as household and commercial insecticides for use in gardens, fields and forests. There are other names by which pyrethrons are known such as pyrethrin, pyrethroid, pyrethrum, pyroxylenol and others. Pyrethrons are derived from the oils extracted from pyrethroids. The word pyrethroid was first used in 1891 when Thomas O'Rourke, a British researcher first used pyrethroids, which is derived from the oil of pyrethrum, to describe the oil secreted by the flower of the same name. The essential oil is then applied to various plants, insects and other organisms as an insecticide. It is believed to be an effective insecticide against a wide range of pests such as leafhoppers, lacewings, dragonflies and flies.
