The Ponto-Caspian mysid, Hemimysis anomala G.O. Sars 1907 (Crustacea), arrives in Ireland

Aquatic Invasions, 3:257-259.

Some hundreds of individuals were found in an area with macrophyte growth on the western side of this lough. Several individuals had brood-sacs containing clearly visible eye-staged young.
