| The mysid, a swimming shrimp, eats particles of salt marsh grass and is in turn eaten by fish such as the American Shad. |
| We will conduct a biological survey to identify where the mysid is present in the river between Montreal and the outflow of Lake Ontario. |
| The seadragon's diet consists of mysid shrimp and other small crustaceans. |
| Herring can also visually detect larger prey, such as an individual copepod or a mysid shrimp, and execute directed attacks on these targets. |
