Description
Deltamysis includes species that are typically found in estuarine environments, where they contribute to the estuarine food web by feeding on detritus and plankton. With a biology and ecology that allow them to thrive in variable salinity levels, these mysids are crucial for nutrient recycling and as a food source for estuarine fish and invertebrates.
