What does MYSID mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A small, shrimp-like crustacean of the order Mysida, commonly known as an opossum shrimp.
A mysid carries its eggs and young in a pouch beneath its body, much like a marsupial, which is why the group earned the name opossum shrimp. These tiny crustaceans drift in enormous numbers through coastal and open waters, forming an important food source for fish, seabirds, and whales. Scientists studying marine food webs often count mysid populations as an indicator of a healthy ecosystem.
