Spinoloricus
''Spinoloricus'' is a genus of nanaloricid loriciferans. Its type species is ''S. turbatio'', described in 2007, and another species, native to completely anoxic environment, '' Spinoloricus cinziae'', was described in 2014.Neves, Gambi, Danovaro & Kristensen (2014) ''Spinoloricus cinziae'' (Phylum Loricifera), a new species from a hypersaline anoxic deep basin in the Mediterranean Sea.''

Spinoloricus Cinziae
''Spinoloricus cinziae'' is an animal species described in 2014 in the phylum Loricifera. It was the first described animal species that does not require oxygen at any point during its life.Jackson P. (8 April 2010). http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8609246.stm "First oxygen-free animals found". ''BBC News''. accessed 16 April 2010.New species 'live without oxygen'
The Telegraph, April 9, 2010
The species, along with two other newly discovered species, '' Rugiloricus nov. sp.'' and '' nov. sp. ...

Loricifera
Loricifera (from Latin, '' lorica'', corselet (armour) + ''ferre'', to bear) is a phylum of very small to microscopic marine cycloneuralian sediment-dwelling animals that had been determined to be 37 described species, in 9 genera, but in 2021 has increased to 43 species. Aside from these described species, there are approximately 100 more that have been collected and not yet described. Their sizes range from 100 μm to ca. 1 mm. They are characterised by a protective outer case called a lorica and their habitat is in the spaces between marine gravel to which they attach themselves. The phylum was discovered in 1983 by R.M. Kristensen, near Roscoff, France. They are among the most recently discovered groups of animals. They attach themselves quite firmly to the substrate, and hence remained undiscovered for so long. The first specimen was collected in the 1970s, and later described in 1983. They are found at all depths, in different sediment types ...

Anoxic Waters
Anoxic waters are areas of sea water, fresh water, or groundwater that are depleted of dissolved oxygen. The US Geological Survey defines anoxic groundwater as those with dissolved oxygen concentration of less than 0.5 milligrams per litre. Anoxic waters can be contrasted with hypoxic waters, which are low (but not lacking) in dissolved oxygen. This condition is generally found in areas that have restricted water exchange. In most cases, oxygen is prevented from reaching the deeper levels by a physical barrier, as well as by a pronounced density stratification, in which, for instance, heavier hypersaline waters rest at the bottom of a basin. Anoxic conditions will occur if the rate of oxidation of organic matter by bacteria is greater than the supply of dissolved oxygen. Anoxic waters are a natural phenomenon, and have occurred throughout geological history. The Permian–Triassic extinction event, a mass extinction of species from the world's oceans, may have resulted from w ...
