The shrimp catch quantities offered in three markets; namely, Al-Basrah, Al-Ashar, and 5 Mile in El Basrah, Iraq were studied. During 2018 and 2019, the percentages of marine and river fishing quantities were 80.00, 86.67%, and 20.00 and 13.33%, respectively. Shrimp percentage quantities supplied in the three Basrah markets during 2018 and 2019 were as follows: (75, 15, 5)%, and (80, 15, and 7)%, respectively. In addition, the percentage of the displayed catches of four shrimp species, including Penaeus semisulctus, Metapenaeus affinis, Parapenopsis stylefera, and Macrobrachium nipponense during the years 2018 and 2019 were as follows: (10, 50, 30, and 10)% and (12, 53, 32, and 3)%, respectively. During the study period, a fluctuation was detected in shrimp prices in the studied markets of El Basrah, the most expensive of which was (25,000 thousand / kg) that of the marine shrimp, while the river shrimp recorded the cheapest (1,000 thousand/kg) of river shrimp. Statistical analysis showed significant differences (P< 0.05) between the quantities of the two species of shrimp (M. affinis and P. stylefera) and between the two shrimp species. While no significant differences were observed between the other two shrimp species (P. semisulctus and M. nipponense). Significant differences  (P < 0.05) were recorded between the percentages of shrimp quantities offered in the Basrah market and between Al-Ashar, and 5 Mile markets, which had no significant differences (P > 0.05).
