London-New York, Interscience Publishers. 699 pp. is a family of monopisthocotylean monogeneans, which includes about 200 species. The monophyly of the Capsalidae is supported by possession of accessory sclerites in the haptor (the posterior attachment organ), and was confirmed by molecular phylogeny. Their oncomiracidium (the free larva) is distinct from that of other families. Capsalids are parasite on various organs of marine fish (teleosts and elasmobranchs), including skin, fins and gills. Several capsalid species, such a ''Neobenedenia'' spp. are pathogenic, especially on maricultured fish. Included genera Genera as recognized iWorMsare listed below. Recent molecular analyses have shown that several genera, which were defined on morphological characters, are not monophyletic.

Alloencotyllabe
''Alloencotyllabe'' is a genus of parasitic monogenean in the family Capsalidae. It is monotypic, containing the sole species ''Alloencotyllabe caranxi''.WoRMS (2023)''Alloencotyllabe'' Khalil & Abdul-Salam, 1988 Accessed 2023-06-16. The specific epithet was derived from the type host of the species, which was fish belonging to the genus ''Caranx''. It has been found from type specimens in the Persian Gulf.Khalil, L. F. & Abdul-Salam, J. B. (1988). The subfamily Encotyllabinae (Monogenea: Capsalidae) with the description of ''Alloencotyllabe caranxi'' n. g., n. sp. and ''Encotyllabe kuwaitensis'' n. sp. ''Systematic Parasitology.'' 11(2): 139-150. Description ''Alloencotyllabe caranxi'' is found on the pharyngeal plate of its host. The body of the species is elongated, around long. Its maximum width is in the region of the testes. The body gradually tapers to the muscular peduncle, ending with the opisthaptor, which is deeply embedded in the host's tissue. The prohaptor consi ...

Diatom
A diatom (Neo-Latin ''diatoma'') is any member of a large group comprising several Genus, genera of algae, specifically microalgae, found in the oceans, waterways and soils of the world. Living diatoms make up a significant portion of Earth's Biomass (ecology), biomass. They generate about 20 to 50 percent of the oxygen produced on the planet each year, take in over 6.7 billion tonnes of silicon each year from the waters in which they live, and constitute nearly half of the organic material found in the oceans. The Protist shell, shells of dead diatoms are a significant component of marine sediment, and the entire Amazon basin is fertilized annually by 27 million tons of diatom shell dust transported by transatlantic winds from the African Sahara, much of it from the Bodélé Depression, which was once made up of a system of fresh-water lakes. Diatoms are unicellular organisms: they occur either as solitary cells or in Colony (biology), colonies, which can take the shape of ribb ...

Nitzschia
''Nitzschia'' is a common pennate marine and freshwater diatom. In the scientific literature, this genus, named after Christian Ludwig Nitzsch, is sometimes referred to incorrectly as ''Nitzchia'', and it has many species described, which all have a similar morphology. In its current circumscription, ''Nitzschia'' is paraphyletic. Occurrence ''Nitzschia'' is found mostly in colder waters, and is associated with both Arctic and Antarctic polar sea ice, where it is often found to be the dominant diatom. ''Nitzschia'' includes several species of diatoms known to produce the neurotoxin known as domoic acid, a toxin responsible for the human illness called amnesic shellfish poisoning. The species '' N. frigida'' is found to grow exponentially even at temperatures between −4 and −6 °C. Some ''Nitzschia'' species are also extremophiles by dint of tolerance to high salinity; for example, some halophilic species of ''Nitzschia'' are found in the Makgadikgadi Pans in Botswana ...

Flowering Plant
Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (). The term angiosperm is derived from the Ancient Greek, Greek words (; 'container, vessel') and (; 'seed'), meaning that the seeds are enclosed within a fruit. The group was formerly called Magnoliophyta. Angiosperms are by far the most diverse group of Embryophyte, land plants with 64 Order (biology), orders, 416 Family (biology), families, approximately 13,000 known Genus, genera and 300,000 known species. They include all forbs (flowering plants without a woody Plant stem, stem), grasses and grass-like plants, a vast majority of broad-leaved trees, shrubs and vines, and most aquatic plants. Angiosperms are distinguished from the other major seed plant clade, the gymnosperms, by having flowers, xylem consisting of vessel elements instead of tracheids, endosperm within their seeds, and fruits that completely envelop the seeds. The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from the commo ...
