amphipod

Explanation:
märl sannolikt = märlkräfta se NE:
märlkräftor, Amphi_poda, ordning storkräftor med i Norden ca 400 marina, sötvattenlevande och landlevande arter i tre underordningar. De är ofta sammantryckta från sidorna och saknar ryggsköld. Arterna i underordningen Caprelli_dea (alla marina) har smal eller spindellik kropp (det sista ofta hos familjen vallöss). Arterna i underordningen Hyperii_dea är alla marina. Den största underordningen är Gammari_dea, som innehåller både de få landlevande (familjen Tali_tridae) och sötvattenlevande arterna (i familjerna Pontoporei_idae, Gammaracanthi_dae och Gamma_ridae). Bland de sötvattenlevande arterna finns ett par glacialrelikter (Pontoporeia [-rei_a] affi_nis och Relictaca_nthus reli_ctus) och de allmänna sötvattensmärlorna Ga_mmarus pu_lex och G. lacu_stris, som förekommer i många sjöar och rinnande vatten i Sverige. Se bild ¤kräftdjur.

märlbädd = amphipod bed

scuds

Explanation:
Alternatively "sideswimmers" or "fresh water shrimp".

"Två kräftdjur, tånggråsuggor (Idotea spp.) och märlkräftor
(Gammarus spp.), föredrog växten axslinga (Myriophyllum spicatum) framför borstnate
(Potamogeton pectinatus) och grönsträfse (Chara baltica)."
http://www.botan.su.se/content/1/c6/02/72/89/PlantsEcology_2...

"Gammarus, also called scuds and side-swimmers, are amphipods."

Very sorry, it is wrong:

Swedish "märl" = Danish mergel

Mergel = marl (Vinterberg Bodelsen, Danish > English)

(Pinna nobilis) has been found to be more common in Cymodocea meadows and in biodetritic and marlbeds.

See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marl

Here's link to new reference for marl/marlbeds:

Example sentence(s):

Freshwater shrimp or scuds can make up a significant portion of the diet of trout in productive stillwaters and spring creeks.
