Halosbaena [Halosbaena]
Description
Halosbaena is a genus of thermosbaenacean crustaceans in the family Halosbaenidae. These small, largely translucent crustaceans inhabit marine and brackish waters, typically found in anchialine pools and caves. They have a unique life cycle and reproductive strategy adapted to their specialized habitats. The body structure of Halosbaena species is simplified compared to other crustaceans, with reduced segmentation and appendages, reflecting their adaptation to a less competitive environment in isolated waters.
