		Although the opossum shrimp is an important source of prey for freshwater fish in its native range, it does not have a similar effect on the aquatic community it is non-native to.
		The opossum shrimp feed on zooplankton when available; thus, changes and extinctions of native zooplankton communities in the United States have been attributed to the introduction of this mysid (Source from the USGS Page, 2001).
		Flathead Lake in Montana is experiencing algae blooms because of a decline in the populations of algae-eating zooplankton in the lake.

	Opossum shrimp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Opossum shrimp (Neomysis americana) is regarded as the premier shrimp in the Chesapeake Bay.
		This shrimp is tiny, averaging 1.5 to 3 cm in length with exceptional specimens growing to 3.5 cm in length.
		The opossum shrimp does not have gills; its split feet serve as its means of respiration and locomotion.

		So far, Jumars' research has revealed some exciting data about the biology and ecological importance of the fast-moving shrimp, which are a major source of food for small cod and other fishes.
		The research is proving important for national defense purposes as well, since the movements of large numbers of opossum shrimp and other small organisms can interfere with the military's use of sonar for detecting and identifying underwater mines.
		This is definitely not a small problem when it comes to using acoustics for local area search, and the shrimp are certainly something cod care about.

	Mysidacea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mysidacea is a group of small, shrimp-like creatures including the species Neomysis americana (opossum shrimp), comprising the two related orders Mysida and Lophogastrida.
		They are sometimes referred to as opossum shrimps, though that name is also used for individual species.
		Note that despite their name, and their superficial resemblance to shrimp, they are only quite distantly related to the true shrimps, which are classified in the order Decapoda.

	REEF CRUSTACEA
		Fertilized eggs are brooded in the marsupium and are released as juveniles.
		The shrimp use the snapping sound to deter predators, to stun prey, and even to communicate with other shrimp.
		By tethering shrimp to a platform, training a fast-frame camera on them, listening in with a highly sensitive hydrophone, and then tickling the snapper shrimp's claw to elicit a snap, they got an extremely detailed picture of what really happens.

		The opossum shrimp were intended to provide feed for the kokanee salmon in Whitefish and Swan Lakes.
		As those opossum shrimp continue to gobble up the zooplankton that once fed the kokanee, the larger zooplankton that fed on the algae and helped keep the lake algae population under control, are disappearing too.
		This arrogant assumption is what led to the introduction of the opossum shrimp into the Flathead watershed.

	seahorse.org - Raising Mysid Shrimp as a Home Aquarium Food
		Various species of Mysid shrimp, also known as opossum shrimp, have been collected or cultured as a live food for aquatic animals which prefer living foods, such as seadragons, seahorses and pipefish.
		Some degree of caution may be in order as these butterflyfish attacked the Mysids with such ferocity that their snouts became bruised from repeatedly hitting the tank walls and bottom as they captured the shrimp.
		My recommendation is that aquarists first "learn the ropes" by closely following the original culture method as outlined above, and then as their experience level warrants, begin using the net separation technique on some of the brood tanks (but not all of them).

		Diporeia, fingernail clams, the opossum shrimp and some important worms are fast disappearing; the prime suspect in shallow water is the zebra mussel.
		Diporeia and fingernail clams are staple foods for forage fish such as the sculpin and bloater, which are in turn important prey for salmon and trout.
		Until recently deep water has protected opossum shrimp, but now the quagga mussel, which likes deep water, is spreading rapidly across the lakes as ocean-going ships from abroad dump their ballast water.

		Testers evaluated the water's toxicity by observing its effect on juvenile opossum shrimp and inland silverside fish.
		Scientists believe that runoff and pesticides (from agricultural discharges) are the major sources of the toxicity found in these tests.
