Dajidae

	Dajidae The Dajidae are a family (biology), family of marine Isopoda, isopod crustaceans in the suborder Cymothoida. The original description was made by Giard and Bonnier in 1887. Members of this family are Parasitism, ectoparasites of krill. They resemble a fleshy growth on the krill's back, and make the host look as if it is wearing a rucksack. These genera are included in the family Dajidae: ''Allophryxus'' Koehler, 1911 ''Antephyra'' Schultz, 1978 ''Arthrophryxus'' Richardson, 1908 ''Aspidophryxus'' G. O. Sars, 1883 ''Branchiophryxus'' Caullery, 1897 ''Colophryxus'' Richardson, 1908 ''Dajus'' Krøyer, 1846 ''Dolichophryxus'' Schultz, 1977 ''Heterophryxus'' G. O. Sars, 1885 ''Holophryxus'' Richardson, 1905 ''Notophryxus'' G. O. Sars, 1883 ''Oculophryxus'' Shields & Gómez-Gutiérrez, 1996 ''Paradajus'' Nierstrasz & Brender à Brandis, 1923 ''Paraspidophryxus'' Schultz, 1977 ''Prodajus'' Bonnier, 1903 ''Prophryxus'' Richardson, 1909 ''Streptodajus'' Nierstrasz & Brende ...

picture info	Krill Krill are small crustaceans of the order Euphausiacea, and are found in all the world's oceans. The name "krill" comes from the Norwegian Norwegian, Norwayan, or Norsk may refer to: Something of, from, or related to Norway, a country in northwestern Europe Norwegians, both a nation and an ethnic group native to Norway * Demographics of Norway The Norwegian language, including ... word ', meaning "small fry of fish", which is also often attributed to species of fish. Krill are considered an important trophic level connection – near the bottom of the food chain. They feed on phytoplankton and (to a lesser extent) zooplankton, yet also are the main source of food for many larger animals. In the Southern Ocean, one species, the Antarctic krill, ''Euphausia superba'', makes up an estimated biomass (ecology), biomass of around 379,000,000 tonnes, making it among the species with the largest total biomass. Over half of this biomass is eaten by whales, Pinniped, seals, pen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR:* [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Cymothoida Cymothoida is the name of a suborder of isopod crustaceans with a mostly carnivorous or parasitic lifestyle. It contains more than 2,700 described species in four superfamilies. Members of the suborder are characterised by their specialised mouthparts which include a mandible with a tooth-like process which is adapted for cutting or slicing. Classification Cymothoida contains these superfamilies and families: Superfamily Anthuroidea Leach, 1814 * Antheluridae Poore & Lew Ton, 1988 Anthuridae Leach, 1814 Expanathuridae Poore, 2001 Hyssuridae Wägele, 1981 Leptanthuridae Poore, 2001 ** Paranthuridae Menzies & Glynn, 1968 Superfamily Cymothooidea Leach, 1814 Aegidae White, 1850 Anuropidae Stebbing, 1893 * Barybrotidae Hansen, 1890 Cirolanidae Dana, 1852 Corallanidae Hansen, 1890 Cymothoidae Leach, 1818 Gnathiidae Leach, 1814 Protognathiidae Wägele & Brandt, 1988 Tridentellidae Bruce, 1984 Superfamily Cryptoniscoidea Kossmann, 1880 Asconisc ...
