Abstract

Mysids or opossum shrimps are component of zooplankton composition which is used for human consumption. Mesopodopsisorientalis is a common mysid of the shallow coastal waters of India. Mysids have high calorific values. The hard parts of animals consist of a variety of minerals, some of which occur in static organs (statocysts) as components of the static bodies, statoliths, or otoliths.Salt pan mysids found more nutritionally rich than estuarine and coastal water mysids respectively.  However, Nutritional parameters as Fat found more in coastal water mysids,whereas in Estuarine waters mysids are Protein, Carbohydrate,Magnesium, Iron and in Salt pan waters Carbohydrate, Sodium andPotassium. But some nutritional parameters not detected in all waters mysids viz, coastal, estuarine and salt pan are Sugar,Trance fatty acids, Cholesterol and Vitamin A.Since, Salt pan mysids are more nutritionally rich than estuarine and coastal water mysids respectively, it is recommended that salt pan mysids will be preferred for culturing which could be more resultant for effective use of live feed for fishes of different ecological waters.
