Gnathophausia ingens, the giant red mysid, is a species of lophogastrid crustacean with a pantropical distribution. The adults may reach 35 cm (14 in) long, including the rostrum.^[2] Females may brood their young for up to 530 days.^[3] Brooding females live between 900 and 1,400 m (3,000–4,600 ft) in the eastern Pacific Ocean off California. They do not feed during this time.^[4] When they feed, they prey on smaller crustaceans.^[5]
