Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?, range 1 - 1.65 cm Max length : 2 cm TL (female)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in low tide, shallow water (ca. 20 cm deep) along the bank of estuaries and coastal areas mainly composed of sand and small pebbles. Also found in muddy and rocky substrates. Nektonic. No known information on its diet and feeding type but other Mysis species feed on detritus, zooplankton, and each other. Juveniles and adults form aggregations in either ribbon-like or globular forms (Ref. 130981).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Male mysids die after copulation. Juveniles of sizes 0.2-0.25 cm TL are released from the female marsupium during late winter or early sping and matures during summer or autumn (Ref. 130981).
