“…Males and females of Amathimysis cherados Brattegard, 1974 from Grand Cayman Island showed similar sexual dimorphism (Price et al 2002). The carapace median keel of A. serrata may superficially resemble that of A. cherados and A. gibba Brattegard, 1969, but these latter species have much larger keeled humps than the former.

“…This species is more widely distributed throughout the Caribbean than its only western Atlantic congener, Dioptromysis spinosa Brattegard, 1969, which has been collected in the Bahamas and Florida Keys (Brattegard 1969). The 2 species are similar morphologically but may be distinguished most readily by differences in numbers of spiniform setae on the uropodal endopod (2-6 for D. paucispinosa; 13-20 for D. spinosa).…”

“…The mysids (6.29 ± 0.16 mm total length) were chosen for use in more extensive laboratory and field assays because they were common in the Florida Keys, were easy to collect in large numbers, and occurred in a variety of habitats (Brattegard 1969), form large aggregations that persist in single locations over time (Clutter 1969, Hahn & Itzkowitz 1986, and were predictably available at our reef site. To collect mysids, SCUBA divers swept them into 3.8 l plastic bags as the mysids bunched together in response to the diver.…”

Plankton tethering to assess spatial patterns of predation risk over a coral reef and seagrass bed

Difficulties associated with manipulating plankton in situ have limited the ability of investigators to assess among-habitat variation in predation risk for plankton. We used plankton tethering units (PTUs) to tether zooplankton in a variety of reef and seagrass habitats, and used field and laboratory assays to test PTUs for tethering artifacts. Tethering did not affect the survivorship of 5 species of plankton (sizes <1 to 6 mm), indicating that the method works with a range of planktonic organisms. We then used the reef mysid Mysidium columbiae in additional assays and found that: (1) mysids remained on PTUs unless they were attacked by predators; (2) PTUs did not prevent planktivorous fishes from consuming tethered mysids; (3) untethered mysids commonly evaded predators, while mysids on PTUs did not; (4) the same types of predators consumed untethered and tethered mysids in the field; and (5) fishes were neither attracted to nor repelled from PTUs. We used PTUs and mysids to assess predation risk for plankton over various coral reef or seagrass habitats. Risk of attack varied among habitats and was correlated with abundance of planktivorous fishes. On the reef, attack rates were most intense over a topographically complex reef ledge, less intense over the less structurally complex center of the reef, and least intense over a structurally simple sand plain. Within the seagrass bed, attack rates were highest at the edge of the bed and less intense to the center of the seagrass bed and over an adjacent sand plain. Thus, attack rates at these sites varied tremendously over small spatial scales (meters).

Although investigators have tethered some plankton (Paffenhöffer & Lewis 1989, Thetmeyer & Kils 1995, Acosta & Butler 1999, this approach has been uncommon due to the difficulties of manipulating tethered plankton in the field (but see Acosta & Butler 1999). Tethering small plankton (i.e. most plankton) has been especially difficult and rare.To work with tethered plankton, logistical problems associated with transporting tethered plankton to the field must be overcome. Tethered plankton must stay continuously submerged during transport, the tethers cannot become entangled, and the tethered plankton must be able to be deployed quickly without damage in the field. Additionally, tethering can produce biases that confound results (e.g. Peterson & Black 1994). For example, tethering can make organisms more or less susceptible to predators by affecting their behavior, apparency, or mortality. In addition, complex interactions can occur between tethers and treatments if tethers differentially affect the susceptibility of tethered organisms in different habitats (Peterson & Black 1994). Such interactions will often ...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate existing techniques for culturing three species of the genus Mysidopsis that are routinely used as toxicity test organisms. A comparison of the life history, ecology and distribution of M. bahia, M. bigelowi and M. almyra is presented. Culture systems are described, supplemental foods are suggested, and guidelines are given for salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen and nitrogen levels that will maintain optimum laboratory culture conditions. Methods are outlined for harvesting juveniles and controlling contaminant organisms, and general feeding procedures are described. Culture management is stressed as the most significant factor in maintaining productive mysid cultures. Specific recommendations are made regarding culture density, harvesting frequency, sex ratio and introduction of feral animals.
