Paramysis intermedia is a species of shrimp in the family Mysidae.[1][2] Its natural distribution is Ponto-Caspian,[3] but it is also invasive species, e.g. on the Baltic coast of Estonia.[4] It tolerates salinities between 0–12 ppt; it occurs in estuaries but does not penetrate very deep into rivers.[3]
