a marin cladoceran: Penilia avirostris

Post by Franz Neidl »

This marine waterflea has the name: Penilia avirostris.
"avirostris" is coming from latin: avis=bird, rostrum=beak.
(With the third picture certainly you will understand this name).

(DIC, stacks with 3-7 pictures).

Great pictures of marine organisms, Franz! I have never seen this type of marine water fleas here. Only Podon and Evadne.
