Abstract
Abstract The mysid shrimp Mysis mixta can detect the odour of herring (Clupea harengas), one of its primary predators. This was shown as significantly reduced food consumption when mysids and their prey (brine shrimps, Artemia sp.) were incubated in water where herring had been kept. This indicates that the interaction between herring and M. mixta, two dominant members of the Baltic Sea food web, may be influenced by chemical cues.
