Abstract
The first information about mysid in Songkhla lagoon system, southern Thailand, was reported in 1921 from Thale Sap water. In this present study, we try to give more information about the mysid diversity, species composition and abundance from Songkhla lagoon, southern Thailand. Sampling were conducted from June to November 2017 using a modified Riley’s hand-pushed net at 12 stations (5 in Thale Sap and 7 in Thale Sap Songkhla). Three species of mysids, Mesopodopsis orientalis Tattersal, 1908, Nanomysis siamensis W. Tattersall, 1921 and Rhopalophthalmus egregius Hansen, 1910 were recorded from Songkhla Lagoon. Nanomysis siamensis was the predominant species with total abundance 245.55 ind./m2, and the density was higher in Thale Sap than Thale Sap Songkhla. Monthly mean salinity showed a great fluctuation from 0.64 to 17 ppt, however no correlation between the abundance of N. siamensis with salinity.
