Movies of mysid aggregations in Damariscotta Estuary, Maine obtained during the summer of 2023
Abstract:
Mysid shrimp are a group of zooplankton that are distributed in diverse aquatic environments – freshwater, marine and estuarine – in both shallow and deep waters throughout the world. Due to their ubiquitous presence, mysids form a critical link in marine food webs; however, much remains unknown about their ecology and interactions with their local surroundings. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive investigation of mysid behavior in their natural environment, including their interactions and distribution under varying local flow, food and light conditions. The survey will involve developing and deploying a novel in situ imaging system to study mysids in coastal Maine over the span of two summers.
This dataset contains raw movies of mysid aggregations obtained during summer 2023.
