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
Thamnocephalidae
