                                Yes, the Mediterranean Sea is home to a rich and commercially important diversity of shrimp species. Far from being an empty sea, the basin hosts a variety of crustaceans, from deep-dwelling red shrimp to more coastal dwellers like the spot-tail mantis shrimp, all of which contribute significantly to the local cuisine and economy.
