Misidáceos asociados a fanerógamas marinas en el sudeste ibérico [Mysidacea associated with seagrass meadows off the southeast Iberian coast
Boletín del Instituto Español de Oceanografía
The present paper describes the Mysidacea associated with seagrass meadows on sandy bottoms from the southeast Iberian coast (El Campello, Alicante). The mysids were obtained using the hand-net method in different types of habitats: Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile, 1813 and Cymodocea nodosa (Ucria) Ascherson, 1869 meadows, posidonia meadows edges and sandy bottoms, at deep of 10 and 16 m. Eight species were identified: Siriella clausii, S. armata, Mysidopsis gibbosa, Anchialina agilis, Leptomysis posidoniae, L. buergii, Mesopodopsis slabberi y Paramysis helleri. Abundance varied according to the habitat. A key for the identification of these species is provided.
