picture info	Cyprinidae Cyprinidae is a family of freshwater fish commonly called the carp or minnow family. It includes the carps, the true minnows, and relatives like the barbs and barbels. Cyprinidae is the largest and most diverse fish family and the largest vertebrate animal family in general with about 3,000 species, of which only 1,270 remain extant, divided into about 370 genera. Cyprinids range from about 12 mm in size to the giant barb (''Catlocarpio siamensis''). By genus and species count, the family makes up more than two-thirds of the ostariophysian order Cypriniformes. The family name is derived from the Greek word ( 'carp'). Biology and ecology Cyprinids are stomachless fish with toothless jaws. Even so, food can be effectively chewed by the gill rakers of the specialized last gill bow. These pharyngeal teeth allow the fish to make chewing motions against a chewing plate formed by a bony process of the skull. The pharyngeal teeth are unique to each species and are used ...

	Gigantocypris The giant ostracod (''Gigantocypris'') or the giant seed shrimp is a genus of ostracod crustaceans in family Cypridinidae, and among the most well-known members of the class Ostracoda (together with ''Vargula hilgendorfii''). Its members are extremely large for ostracods, measuring up to across, have a globular shape, are typically semi-transparent orange or reddish, and while compound eyes are absent they have a large pair of mirror-like Crustacean_larva#Nauplius, naupliar eyes that are used to locate their small animal prey. They are found worldwide in dark, deep and cold oceans. Range and habitat ''Gigantocypris'' are ubiquitous in open oceans around the world, ranging from tropical to Polar regions of Earth, polar regions. Although locally abundant, the distributions of the individual species are often not well known. ''G. dracontovalis'' is found worldwide, mostly deeper than the other species. ''G. agassizii'' is essentially a widespread Pacific species, and ''G. muelleri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Maristella (crustacean) ''Maristella'' is a genus of ostracods belonging to the Myodocopida (Cypridinidae). The genus belongs to a diverse clade of Caribbean bioluminescent ostracods.
