Abstract
Only three of the twenty species at present ascribed to the genusMysidopsishave been recorded around the coasts of Britain; these areM. gibbosaG. O. Sars,M. didelphysNorman andM. angustaG. O. Sars. The latter species is rare and has never been caught in large numbers. Large catches ofM. gibbosaare made in certain sandy bays in the Firth of Clyde and the species is quite common in Gaineamh Smuagh, a sandy bay in Loch Ewe, Wester Ross (Mauchline, 1965 a). The largest species,M. didelphys, occurs at greater depths than the other two and, likeM. gibbosa, is often common in certain areas, especially in the deep troughs of the Firth of Clyde and in some of the west coast lochs of Scotland, for example the upper part of Loch Etive.
