Effective species conservation implies protection at all levels from individuals to ecosystems. However, monitoring and protection of single specimens is usu ally not practicable with small-sized invertebrates. Unlike vertebrates and large sized invertebrates, conservation should start with the protection of populations. Most small, nonnoxious aquatic invertebrates are not perceived as being of direct human interest and are rarely used as commercial resources, and their disap pearance often not being immediately noticed. Thus, decline of populations is mostly seen in the context of environmental degradation rather than single spe cies protection. Aquatic invertebrate conservation is poorly developed. Small crustaceans, like mysids, have gained little attention from conservationists. Not surprisingly, their taxonomy, biogeography, and ecology are rather poorly developed: the Continental Mysida and Stygiomysida diversity is still to be fully discovered, many species are known only from original descriptions, and ecological data are fragmentary. Two Mysida species from Bermudan marine caves were included on IUCN Red List (Iliffe 1996a, b). The most comprehensive national-level status assessment was made in Norway (Oug et al. 2015), where two freshwater species were included on the Red List (Oug et al. 2015, Spikkeland et al. 2016). Another five species are present on national lists: three in the Red Data Book of Ukraine (Dovgal 2009a, 33b,Samchishina 2009), one in the Red Book of the Republic of Moldova (Toderaş et al. 2015) and in the Red Data Book of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (Filipenko 2009), and one in the Red Data Book of Lithuania (Vaitonis 2007). These same species were included in the regional list of Leningrad Oblast of Russia (Alekseev 2002). Stepanyants et al. (2015) remarked that the conservation status for most species has not yet been assessed, only Diamysis pusilla G.O. Sars, 1907, as critically endangered. Thus, they recommended the creation of a protected area in this species range.
