Most species have 20 body segments, bearing 11 pairs of leaf-like phyllopodia (swimming legs), and the body lacks a carapace.

They live in vernal pools and hypersaline lakes across the world, including pools in deserts, in ice-covered mountain lakes and in Antarctica.

They swim "upside-down" and feed by filtering organic particles from the water or by scraping algae from surfaces.


These branches come from Anostraca :

Artemiidae
Branchinectidae
Branchipodidae
Chirocephalidae
Parartemiidae
Streptocephalidae
Tanymastigidae
