Description Gastrosaccus spinifer is an opossum shrimp; these are small, shrimp-like creatures with pinnate legs, a transparent body, remarkable eyes and a broad tail fan. Whereas most opossum shrimps spend their lives swimming freely in the water column, Gastrosaccus spinifer spends a major part of that time buried in the sediment. Consequently, the species is usually associated with the macrobenthos. Gastrosaccus spinifer can reach a length of 21 mm and is characterised by a narrowing of the fifth abdomen segment with a dorsal finger-like ‘spine’ on top. [details]

Distribution In both periods Gastrosaccus spinifer was found distributed across the entire Belgian part of the North Sea with a...  
Distribution In both periods Gastrosaccus spinifer was found distributed across the entire Belgian part of the North Sea with a relatively high distribution frequency. The maximum density amounted to 130 ind./m2 in the 1976-1986 period and to 1,000 ind./m2 in the 1994-2001 period. [details]

Description Gastrosaccus spinifer is an opossum shrimp; these are small, shrimp-like creatures with pinnate legs, a transparent body, remarkable eyes and a broad tail fan. Whereas most opossum shrimps spend their lives swimming freely in the water column, Gastrosaccus spinifer spends a major part of that time buried in the sediment. Consequently, the species is usually associated with the macrobenthos. Gastrosaccus spinifer can reach a length of 21 mm and is characterised by a narrowing of the fifth abdomen segment with a dorsal finger-like ‘spine’ on top. [details]

Distribution In both periods Gastrosaccus spinifer was found distributed across the entire Belgian part of the North Sea with a relatively high distribution frequency. The maximum density amounted to 130 ind./m2 in the 1976-1986 period and to 1,000 ind./m2 in the 1994-2001 period. [details]

Habitat Gastrosaccus spinifer is found in a wide range of sediment types. In general, the relative occurrence increases in proportion to the median grain size of the sediment up to a maximum relative occurrence of over 60%, which is reached when the median grain size is 450 to 550 μm. Gastrosaccus spinifer does not display an absolute preference for sediments with a specific mud level. However, the species is absent in sediments with a mud content exceeding 70%. [details]
