Norfolk Ridge
The Norfolk Ridge is a long submarine ridge running between New Caledonia and New Zealand, about 1300 km off the east-coast of Australia. It is part of a complex region of ridges between the crust of the Pacific Basin and the continental crust of Australia. Little is known about the Norfolk Ridge; however, it generally lies about 2000 m below sea level and consists of Late Cretaceous continental crust. It is part of Zealandia, a submerged continent A continent is any of several large landmasses. Generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, up to seven geographical regions are commonly regarded as continents. Ordered from largest in area to smallest, these seven ... that sank 60-85 million years ago.

Isopoda
Isopoda is an order of crustaceans that includes woodlice and their relatives. Isopods live in the sea, in fresh water, or on land. All have rigid, segmented exoskeletons, two pairs of antennae, seven pairs of jointed limbs on the thorax, and five pairs of branching appendages on the abdomen that are used in respiration. Females brood their young in a pouch under their thorax. Isopods have various feeding methods: some eat dead or decaying plant and animal matter, others are grazers, or filter feeders, a few are predators, and some are internal or external parasites, mostly of fish. Aquatic species mostly live on the seabed or bottom of freshwater bodies of water, but some taxa can swim for a short distance. Terrestrial forms move around by crawling and tend to be found in cool, moist places. Some species are able to roll themselves into a ball as a defense mechanism or to conserve moisture. There are over 10,000 identified species of isopod worldwide, with around ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aegidae
The Aegidae are a family of isopod crustaceans. The adults are temporary parasites of fish, feeding on their hosts' blood before dropping off to digest the meal. They differ from members of the family Cirolanidae in having only three pairs of hook-like pereiopod The decapod (crustaceans such as a crab, lobster, shrimp or prawn) is made up of 20 body segments grouped into two main body parts: the cephalothorax and the pleon (abdomen). Each segment may possess one pair of appendages, although in various ...s, whereas in Cirolanidae all seven pairs of pereiopods are hooked. The family was first described by Adam White in 1850. The family contains the following genera: *'' Aega'' Leach, 1815 *'' Aegapheles'' Bruce, 2009 *'' Aegiochus'' Bovallius, 1885 *'' Alitropus'' H. Milne-Edwards, 1840 *'' Epulaega'' Bruce, 2009 *'' Rocinela'' Leach, 1818 *'' Syscenus'' Harger, 1880 *'' Xenuraega'' Tattersall, 1909 References Cymothoida Crustacean families Crustaceans described in ...

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 ** Asconiscidae Bon ...

Crustaceans Described In 2009
Crustaceans (Crustacea, ) form a large, diverse arthropod taxon which includes such animals as decapods, seed shrimp, branchiopods, fish lice, krill, remipedes, isopods, barnacles, copepods, amphipods and mantis shrimp. The crustacean group can be treated as a subphylum under the clade Mandibulata. It is now well accepted that the hexapods emerged deep in the Crustacean group, with the completed group referred to as Pancrustacea. Some crustaceans ( Remipedia, Cephalocarida, Branchiopoda) are more closely related to insects and the other hexapods than they are to certain other crustaceans. The 67,000 described species range in size from '' Stygotantulus stocki'' at , to the Japanese spider crab with a leg span of up to and a mass of . Like other arthropods, crustaceans have an exoskeleton, which they moult to grow. They are distinguished from other groups of arthropods, such as insects, myriapods and chelicerates, by the possession of biramous (two-parted) limbs, and ...
