Boreomysis (from Greek Boreas , the god of the northern winds, and the genus name Mysis ) is a mysid crustacean genus, the type of the subfamily Boreomysinae of the family Mysidae. Majority of the species are found in the ocean deep water. Cosmopolitan. 38 species. [2] [1]

Contents

Description

Compared to another genus of the subfamily, Neobirsteiniamysis , the members of the genus Boreomysis have narrower telson, not expanded in the central part, being always narrower than in the anterior part. Also the eyes are mostly normally developed. Although in certain species the eyes may be reduced to certain extent, they still always possess cornea, unlike in Neobirsteiniamysis . [1]

Taxonomy

The originally designated type species is Mysis arctica Krøyer, 1861. [1]

Boreomysis is one of the most difficult mysid genera, mostly due to considerable variation with age. [3]

Classification

The species of Boreomysis are distributed among two subgenera:

Subgenus Boreomysis sensu stricto

The nominate subgenus combines most of the species of Boreomysis sensu lato, found in epi-bathypelagic waters, which have pointed rostrum and large ventrolateral projections of the carapace. Nearly all its species have 2-segmented propodus of pereopods (the exception is Boreomysis dubia , which has only one segment). [1]

Subgenus Petryashovia

Subgenus Petryashovia, with the type species Boreomysis megalops G. O. Sars, 1872, includes epi-mesopelagic species with somewhat less developed carapace projections (no rostrum and rather short ventrolateral lobes) and undevided propodus of pereopods.

The name is dedicated to a carcinologist Victor Vladimirovich Petryashov (1956–2018). [1]

Distribution

Members of the genus are found in all oceans, and Boreomysis can be considered cosmopolitan. [1]

Habitat

Most of the species are oceanic deep-water. Some, however, penetrate deep parts of inland seas. The depth is from surface or subsurface waters (epipelagic) down to 6000 m (bathypelagic). [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Mysida</span> Small, shrimp-like crustacean

Mysida is an order of small, shrimp-like crustaceans in the malacostracan superorder Peracarida. Their common name opossum shrimps stems from the presence of a brood pouch or "marsupium" in females. The fact that the larvae are reared in this pouch and are not free-swimming characterises the order. The mysid's head bears a pair of stalked eyes and two pairs of antennae. The thorax consists of eight segments each bearing branching limbs, the whole concealed beneath a protective carapace and the abdomen has six segments and usually further small limbs.

<i>Mysis</i> Genus of crustaceans

Mysis is a genus of mysid crustaceans in the family Mysidae, distributed mainly in the coastal zone of the Arctic and high boreal seas. Several species also inhabit northern freshwater lakes and the brackish Caspian Sea. Fifteen species are recognized. Body lengths range from 1 to 3 centimetres.

<i>Mysis diluviana</i> Species of crustacean

Mysis diluviana is a mysid crustacean found in freshwater lakes of northern North America.

<i>Paramysis baeri</i> Species of crustacean

Paramysis baeri is a species of mysid crustacean from the genus Paramysis, named in honour of the prominent biologist Karl Ernst von Baer. Its body is 13–31 millimetres (0.51–1.22 in) long, and it is only found in the coastal waters of the Caspian Sea, on sandy and muddy bottoms, at depths of less than 20 m (66 ft). For over a century, it was thought to be distributed throughout the whole Ponto-Caspian basin, but recently the range was reconsidered after the rediscovery and re-establishment of the closely related species Paramysis bakuensis. Since the taxonomical status of P. baeri has been reconsidered, the distribution and ecology of the species remains poorly known. Paramysis baeri can be distinguished from P. bakuensis and other species of the subgenus Paramysis s. str. by the rather broad, almost quadrangular exopod of maxilla 2, the strongly serrated paradactylar claw-setae of pereiopod 6, and other features.

Paramysis bakuensis is a species of mysid crustacean from the family Mysidae, named by the locality from where it was originally described, the town of Baku in Azerbaijan by the Caspian Sea.

<i>Heteromysis</i> Genus of crustaceans


Heteromysis is a genus of marine mysid crustaceans from the family Mysidae, associated with various shallow-water invertebrates. The name describes differentiation of its pereiopods as possible adaptation to commensal life-style. Heteromysis is one of the largest mysid genera, containing more than 100 species. The genus is distributed globally, but predominantly in tropical and subtropical waters.

Victor Vladimirovich Petryashov was a Russian zoologist, carcinologist, hydrobiologist and biogeographer. His scientific research focused on taxonomy and distribution of malacostracan crustaceans, particularly orders Mysida, Lophogastrida and Leptostraca, and marine biogeography and hydrobiology of Arctic, Antarctic and temperate seas of the World, and he published over 120 works. V.V. Petryashov spent all his professional life in St. Petersburg in the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. As a senior researcher he also curated the malacostracan crustacean collection of the Zoological Institute.

Boreomysinae is a subfamily of large, mostly deep-water oceanic mysid crustaceans from the family Mysidae. The name, which can be translated as "northern mysids", comes from the genus Boreomysis G.O. Sars, 1869, established for Boreomysis arctica from the boreal waters of Atlantic. As more species have been discovered subsequently, the subfamily is considered panoceanic, and includes 38 species from two genera, Boreomysis and Neobirsteiniamysis Hendrickx et Tchindonova, 2020.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Heteromysinae</span> Subfamily of crustaceans

Heteromysinae is a subfamily of predominantly marine mysid crustaceans from the family Mysidae.The name comes from the genus Heteromysis and describes differentiation of the pereiopods in the type genus.
