Polar Mud Dwellers [Pseudocuma]

Description

Pseudocuma is a genus of cumaceans that are predominantly found in polar and cold-temperate regions, thriving in mud and sandy-mud substrates. These species are characterized by their relatively large size for cumaceans and the presence of a distinct carapace that partially covers the pleon. Pseudocuma species are important ecological components of their habitats, serving as detritivores and prey for larger benthic organisms.
