Branchiopod a

Phyliopods with 10 to 30 or more foliaceous feet. Most live in stagnant fresh water, but Artemia lives in brine pools. Here also belong Branch i pus and Apus. Eggs are carried in special internal or external brood-pouches. A simple median eye, and often also a pair of compound eyes, are present. In a broad sense the term has been used to cover the Cla docera and Phyllo ped a , and even all Crustaceans, together with the Gigantos traca .
