Daphnia is a genus of small planktonic crustaceans, 0.2–6.0 mm (0.01–0.24 in) in length. Daphnia are members of the order Anomopoda , and are one of the several small aquatic crustaceans commonly called water fleas because their saltatory swimming style resembles the movements of fleas .

Daphnia studeri is a species of microcrustacean in the genus Daphnia. D. studeri lives in oligotrophic freshwater and slightly brackish lakes in Antarctica and sub-Antarctic islands. Adult Daphnia studeri are typically 1.5 to 2.5 mm (0.059 to 0.098 in) [ 1 ] and colorless or slightly pink.
The feeding mechanism of the members of the family Daphniidae differs from that of the Macrotrichidae in allowing the animals to engage in filter feeding, rather than having to scrape food from a surface.
Daphnia pulicaria generally live in deep, permanent lakes. [7] These lakes provide a more stable environment than temporary ponds, which eventually dry up, so populations of D. pulicaria tend to have lower mortality rates than D. pulex populations living in ponds. [7] Furthermore, D. pulicaria have a relatively long lifespan of 60–65 days. [8]
Daphnia nivalis is a species of water flea in the family Daphniidae, closely related to Daphnia carinata. [2] It is endemic to the Snowy Mountains of eastern Australia , where it lives only in water bodies that have existed for less than 20,000 years, [ 2 ] including Lake Cootapatamba , Australia's highest lake.
