Mysid are just tiny little shrimp. They look like a big shrimp but very tiny. I have them all over in my fuge they are a good food source I am assuming. The mysis is just frozen shrimp, probably related to mysid in some way...
I thought mysid was a general name for a family of small shrimp that included commonly sold freshwater mysis (along with the small saltwater hitchhiker shrimp).
