Gilvossius tyrrhenus (formerly Pestarella tyrrhena) is a species of thalassinidean crustacean (ghost shrimp or mud shrimp) which grows to a length of 70 mm (2.8 in). It lives in burrows in shallow sandy parts of the sea-bed in the Mediterranean Sea and northern Atlantic Ocean. It is the most common thalassinidean in the Mediterranean,^[2] and has been used as bait by fishermen for at least 200 years.^[3]
