Cripe, Geraldine M. 1987. Occurrence of Mysidopsis bahia (Mysidacea: Mysidae) on the Atlantic Coast of Florida. EPA/600/J-87/189. Northeast Gulf Sci. 9(1):47. (ERL,GB 560). (Avail. from NTIS, Springfield, VA: PB88-161781)
A collection of mysids was taken from Link Port Channel, Ft. Pierce, Florida on December 6, 1984, at 20 o/oo salinity and 24° C and returned to our laboratory for culture and identification. All twenty-two individuals were identified as Mysidopsis bahia: 15 females, 4 males, and 2 juveniles (sex undetermined). Gravid females averaged 7 mm length (base of eyestalk to posterior ends of uropods, excluding setae) and had a mean brood of 5.4 young (range 2 to 10). Mature males ranged from 6 to 7 mm length (mean 6.5 mm). A sample of these mysids was sent to Dr. Thomas E. Bowman at the National Museum of Natural History and identified as M. bahia. |
