I did a similar test back in 2004 and came up with similar results as yours, so I think your results are quite valid!
I wonder why your rinsed mysis came back with a higher P04 though?

Before P04 was 0.0 ppm.
After P04 was 1.0 ppm.

18 grams (about a tablespoon) of Piscine mysis, unrinsed, showed about 2.0 ppm in the same test.

edit:
18 grams of frozen mysis, thawed then rinsed briefly in R/O brought the weight down to 14 grams. P04 was a little over 1.0 ppm.
