Topic: Mysis


  
  Mysis Shrimp
The Mysis Relicta Shrimp, also known as Opossum Shrimp, is a freshwater shrimp.
It is a primary food source for salmon, steelhead, trout, smelt, alewife, sculpins, and many other fish.
Mysis shrimp are arthropods which has a segmented shell-like exoskeleton that is shed several times to allow growth (usually 4 times in a life span).

 Seahorses And More
Mysis are also, as previously stated, an EXCELLENT source of nutrition for seahorses (or any marine fish for that matter) for two reasons.
Many of our fish will eventually eat the mysis that we thaw when it is in the water column, and even better, lots of other ones will eat it even when it is on the bottom of the tank.
Since using the PE mysis, ALL of my horses are incredibly colored (I have two orange reidi, two fl erectus that got REALLY dark with these incredible tiny little white dots all over them, a purplish brown erectus that pales to a yellow in the evening, and a pair of bright yellow/green barbouri).

Worse still at night the mysis moved back to the surface to feed on the Daphnia zooplankton which was a food source for the kokanees and trout denying them a food source.
The only trout which benefited from the introduction of the mysis was the lake trout, a deep water feeder which reached the depths where the mysis were located in the daytime.
The mysis shrimp has an exceedingly high nutrient value accounting for the massive growth in the trout that are able to feed on them in large quantities.

Mysis shrimp are becoming increasingly popular in the aquaria industry, preferred by many over frozen brine shrimp and krill.
Mysis (Mysis relicta) evolved from a salt-water species that slowly adapted to decreasing salinity in areas that were affected by melt water during the retreat of glaciers in the Pleistocene era.

 Targeting mysis fed trout, by Dan Wright
Mysis are a "high-fat," high-energy mouthful for trout.
Mysis are accustomed to slow movements in cold, dark places--not the clear water and relatively drastic conditions of rushing through a pipe in a dam and splashing into a tailwater.
Trout also grow fat on Mysis because the shrimp are available most of the year, especially in winter or when the releases from the dam are high.

There are many ways to enrich frozen mysis, but here is a method I have used that will maximize the way the enrichment sticks to the shrimp.
You will notice that the shrimp are relatively dry when you enrich, which makes the enrichment medium really stick, which will be evident by the lack or reduction of effluent in the water when you feed.
Mysis shrimp enriched this way will generally last in the refrigerator for approximately 48 hours.

However, Mysis is a voracious predator of zooplankton and Mysis introductions have dramatically reduced the populations of large zooplankton.
Mysis remains deep during the day, migrating upwards in the water column at night to feed on zooplankton.
This diet vertical migration appears to be an extremely important adaptation to avoiding fish predation, as Mysis in the open water could be easily detected by fish under well lit conditions.

Also be aware that a steady diet of Mysis is believed to tax the liver possibly being a contributing factor in the cause of fatty liver disease.
Quick question.....While most of the animals in my tank (150gal w/ 150lbs of live rock) readily accept Mysis shrimp, (animals are mostly serpent stars, lots of hermit crabs and lots of shrimp) the 2 newest additions (a false mandarin and a seahorse) seem to only be interested in grazing off of the live rock.
The rationale is that you want them "close to their food!" You may want to see if he will eat frozen Mysis (like PE Frozen Mysis, enriched with nutritional additives).

Fisheries managers in Canada watched kokanee salmon reach huge sizes in Canada lakes when the Mysis Shrimp were introduced into the system.
Researchers later found that kokanee in Canada lakes were able to eat the shrimp because of a unique upwelling current, which brought Mysis to the upper layers of the lake during the day.
And to compound the problem even more, Mysis increased the survival of deep dwelling fish like Lake Trout, which in turn preyed on kokanee.

But it turns out that Mysis are a food source for bottom feeding fishes such as lake trout and lake superior whitefish.
Their predation on Mysis seems to have reached a point where Mysis numbers have stabilized.
It is possible that it might cause Mysis numbers to go up, zooplankton numbers to go down, and phytoplankton to increase, resulting in poorer water quality.
