What is the water?
Water flea is a microscopic crustacean that gets a nickname of jerky, flea movements that make when swimming. Water flea, a member of the Daphnia family and the order of the Cladocer, is remotely associated with ground fleas. More than 600 types of water fleas have been described and cataloged since 2011 and are expected to be identified many other species. However, these separate areas are difficult to detect in most types of water, as the segments are almost or completely connected together. Like other insects, flea has exoskeleton water and from three to six pairs of legs. They have folded eyes and antennas. Their head is usually bent towards the rest of the body, a division usually marked with a small notch or groove.
Water fleas live in various water medins, freshwater lakes and streams. Some species live in swamps that are acidic. However, they are mainly freshwater inhabitants. Their longevity often depends on the temperature of their water environment. Average life for different types of daphnia is movingIt is from 29 days to 108 days, with no more than a year of life.
Flea feeding habits are similar to many water creatures. Depending on their species and placement, several small organisms, such as slight crustaceans and rotify, and organic particles and creatures such as algae from the water in which they dwell. A water flea is a filter feeder that consumes organic residues such as bacteria that float in water. They also consume organic material found at the bottom of lakes and streams. As a part of the circle of life, fish and frogs, they often feed on water fleas.
Most water fleas are asexual and reproduced with parthenogenesis, which means that embryonic growth and fertilization occur without required to fertilize from the male. In some species and under certain conditions, men are necessary for fertilization of eggs - who are significantly smaller than women. But this is an exception. While someThe types of water flea are abundant, others are at risk. The stability of a particular population depends on the conditions of the location in which the species is located.
