Study of morphological charachteristic and distribution of Indomysis annandalei and Rhopalophthalmus sp. (Crustacea: Mysida) for the first time from Iranian costal of Persian Gulf

Mysida includes small planktonic Crustaceans that are cosmopolitan, this tiny animals could be found in variety of marine habitats and depts. In this investigation mysida populations were sampled and studied from Iranian costal waters of Persian Gulf (estuary of Arvand and Bahmanshir rivers) in monthly basis from March to October 2011. Sampling process was conducted using plankton net 300 µm mesh size and oblique tows were made from near the bottom to the surface in 7 stations. Finally two species identify and morphological charachteristic of Indomysis annandalei and Rhopalophthalmus sp. was drew with Camera Lucida. Species abundance was measured in different months and stations. Maximum value of the average abundance of species was shown in June (2.85 1 N per M^3 ).
