Posted	mysis shrimp
11-05-2007 23:39 by Nigel Christie	Hello has anybody caught live mysis shrimp i want to get some for my seahorses
13-05-2007 14:59 by D.R.	They are very common in estuaries where the salinity isnt full strength. I used to tow a net behind a canoe, but you can cast out some sort of fabricated net from a fishing rod, then reel in the net.
13-05-2007 15:38 by PaddyD	I would not risk it as ther is arisk of introducing disease - stick to frozen, this will supply all they need.
13-05-2007 15:40 by Nigel Christie	THANKS DR IS THERE ANY TIME THATS BEST I WAS TOLD AN HOUR BEFOUR HIGH TIDE
13-05-2007 15:42 by Nigel Christie	Hi Paddy d I allso need live mysis as i have some weedys coming and they are not trained on to frozen food yet
14-05-2007 15:23 by D.R.	The rising tide is always a good bet for pretty much all marine life. Infowing blooms of phyto and zooplankton brings in the higher life forms up the food chain. Get to know the rise and fall of the tide in your area, best seek advice from local fisherman or coastguard if you are venturing out on to the mud/water. Proper clothing, footwear and means of communication (mobile phone)should be at the top of your list. Safety first! Paddy D - good point about the disease. I should have mentioned that once you have collected a breeding population of Mysis then you can culture them up artificially. It will take several months, possibly a year to attain a pure culture though. There is always a risk of introducing disease when sampling live food from the wild.
15-05-2007 11:07 by Nigel Christie	Thankyou Dr I allways wash live food before feeding but with the weedy seadragons i have no chose as they are still on live food thanks to everybody nwc
15-05-2007 11:13 by PaddyD	Congratulations on the weedies. I hope they do well.
15-05-2007 11:24 by Nigel Christie	Dr fogot to mention i went down to the estuarie tested the salinity and the reading was30 ppt but i had some sent and the reading was 5 ppt do you think these will have bee caught in a tidal river as the reading was very low i was told the mysis swim about two feet under water Thankyou nwc

15-05-2007 17:09 by D.R.	Have to agree with Graham Penney, cultured food is always better than wild. The upside with culturing mysis against Br.S. is they dont need warm water to grow.
