“…Although mysids were present throughout the year, their presence in Spring was conspicuous and consequently, the prey item most readly available and consumed by the fishes of groups I and II. Metamysidopsis elongata at/antica, the most numerous speaes in the dredging and in flSh stomach contents in Cananéia, coinci.dently revealed its maximum in Spring, according to Almeida Prado (1973). Furthermore, the present data showed that crustaceans are the most abundant group of the fauna.…”

The aim of this study was to establish the importance of the macrofauna as food for young fish species that inhabit the infralittoral adjacent to the lower marsh. The sampling site is located at Arrozal, Cananéia lagoon estuarine region (25º02'S and 47º56'W) and the collectings were realized monthly, during a year. The results suggest that the studied area could be considered as a nursery ground for young fish species. The local macrofauna is composed mainly by several groups of crustaceans and has a marked temporal variation. Mysids were dominant in Spring, copepods in Summer, mysids and bivalves were co-dominants in the Autumn and amphipods in Winter. Mysids, copepods, ostracods, tan aids and other epifaunal crustaceans were more consumed than other items. According to the trophic habits, the twelve fish species could be divided into three groups: the first and the third as mysids and copepods eaters respectively, and the second group with a balanced diet reflecting more than the other groups the seasonal variation of the macrofauna collected by the dredge. Benthonic and benthopelagic organisms were considered the major food source, being consumed by 75% of the analysed fish species, in Cananéia infralittoral.

“…Seasonal migrations of shallow water mysids have been reported from Europe (Tattersall, 1938;Vorstman, 1951;Holthuis, 1954;Kinne, 1955;Mauchline, 1967;and Hesthagen, 1973), South America (Almeida Prado, 1973), Australia (Hodge, 1963), and Russia (Zmudzinski, 1967). Migrations of N. americana have not been reported, but seasonal changes in distribution have been suggested by Black (1956), Hulburt (1957), andHerman (1963).…”

The spatial and temporal distributions and aspects of the life history of the marine leech, Mysidobdella borealis, were studied in a salt marsh embayment and adjacent ocean area in southern New Jersey, U. S. A. Mysid hosts, Neomysis americana, occurred in all epibenthic sled collections, but leeches were only collected in the embayment in winter and spring. Leeches were in the cooler ocean areas during the summer. The recurrence of M. borealis in the embayment in November or December coincided with the migration of large mysids from the ocean. Leeches reproduced in the marsh each spring, but no life stages were collected after embayment temperatures reached 20C. Laboratory experiments demonstrated that adult and newly hatched M. borealis were killed by long exposures to temperatures greater than 20C. The recruitment and survival of the borealarctic leech in estuaries at the southern extent of its geographical range is determined by host migration and water temperature.
