Vertical migration of Mysis relicta Lovén

  • Chapter
Ecology of Mysidacea

Part of the book series: Developments in Hydrobiology ((DIHY,volume 10))

Abstract

This review discusses the known features of diurnal vertical migration in the opossum shrimp Mysis relicta. Field observations describe a nocturnal pattern which is correlated to changing patterns of illumination. Hypotheses that offer evolutionary origins of vertical migration are presented which link trophic interactions of the migrator to their predators and prey. These couplings are examined for the case of Mysis relicta. All of the hypotheses are partially supported by Mysis behavior.
