What is the difference between a langoustine and prawn?

The difference between scampi (langoustine) and prawns is that the scampi belong to the lobster family and prawns to the shrimp family. The langoustine is caught here in the North Sea and the gambas are not.
Taken from google.

Now, that begs another question, What the heck is a gamba? I've never heard of it.
