Mysida is an order of small, shrimp -like crustaceans in the malacostracan superorder Peracarida. Their common name opossum shrimps stems from the presence of a brood pouch or "marsupium" in females. The fact that the larvae are reared in this pouch and are not free-swimming characterises the order.

Mysids are an important food resource for fish and several species rely primarily on mysid shrimps. Mysids have a fast avoidance reaction to fish attacks (80 body length s −1) through tail flipping and can often avoid capture. In lakes with native mysid populations, fish have evolved adaptations for migrating with their mysid prey, such as ...
