Best Answer

Under arthropoda, prawns would fall under pancrustacea and crustacea. Note that the classification is complicated by english-speakers cultural considerations of the application of the word 'prawn', since what is considered a prawn varies from country to country; some may refer to any shrimp as "prawns".

A more complete (simplified) taxonomy might read:

Subphylum: Crustacea

Class: Malacostraca

Order: Decapoda

Suborder: Dendrobranchiata

Below this suborder, different species may vary in classification, but for example the tiger prawn's would read:

Family: Penaeidae

Genus: Penaeus

Species: P. monodon
