Mysis vs Mysid Shrimp

[harrylikesfish]

What’s the difference? I know Mysis is freshwater and Mysid is saltwater but is there any nutritional difference? And which one is easier to culture?

I think there's not much of a nutritional difference if you're feeding the same foods to mysis/mysids. But if we're talking frozen brands, then it's much different, since PE mysis (which are freshwater) are far different from other brands of (saltwater) mysis shrimp.

Culturing link here, they're both hard to culture work wise (i.e. you need to do a lot of maintenance).

Mysid is an order. Mysis is a genus in the order Mysid. So a mysis is a mysid
