Eucopia [Eucopia]

Description

Eucopia is a genus of mysid shrimp-like crustaceans found in deep-sea environments. Members of this genus are characterized by their elongated bodies, large compound eyes, and the presence of a carapace covering the thorax. They are known for their vertical migratory behaviors, moving up and down the water column in response to food availability and predation pressure. Eucopia species play a significant role in the marine food web, serving as prey for larger animals.
