Gammaridae is a family of amphipods. In North America they are included among the folk taxonomic category of "scuds",[1] and otherwise gammarids is usually used as a common name.
They have a wide distribution, centered on Eurasia, and are euryhaline as a lineage, inhabiting fresh to marine waters.
Systematics[]
