Ploima is an order of rotifers, microscopic invertebrates found in marine and freshwater habitats.
According to the World Register of Marine Species, Ploima includes the following fifteen families: [1]
Murex is a genus of medium to large sized predatory tropical sea snails. These are carnivorous marine gastropod molluscs in the family Muricidae, commonly called "murexes" or "rock snails".
A salp or salpa is a barrel-shaped, planktonic tunicate in the family Salpidae. It moves by contracting, thereby pumping water through its gelatinous body, one of the most efficient examples of jet propulsion in the animal kingdom. The salp strains the pumped water through its internal feeding filters, feeding on phytoplankton.
The Valvatida are an order of starfish in the class Asteroidea, which contains 695 species in 172 genera in 17 families.
Turritella is a genus of medium-sized sea snails with an operculum, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Turritellidae.
The Pteriomorphia comprise a subclass of saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs. It contains several major orders, including the Arcida, Ostreida, Pectinida, Limida, Mytilida, and Pteriida. It also contains some extinct and probably basal families, such as the Evyanidae, Colpomyidae, Bakevelliidae, Cassianellidae, and Lithiotidae.
Heteroconchia is a taxonomic infraclass of diverse bivalve molluscs, belonging to the subclass Autobranchia.
AlgaeBase is a global species database of information on all groups of algae, both marine and freshwater, as well as sea-grass.
Marginella is a very large genus of small tropical and temperate sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Marginellinae of the family Marginellidae, the margin snails. It is the type genus of the family.
Carcharias is a genus of mackerel sharks belonging to the family Odontaspididae. Once bearing many prehistoric species, all have gone extinct with the exception of the critically endangered sand tiger shark.
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms.
Strioterebrum is an extinct genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Terebridae, the auger snails.
Gemmula, common name the gem turrids, is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Turridae, the turrids.
Turris is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Turridae, the turrids.
Gymnobela is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Raphitomidae.
Miltromorpha is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Mitromorphidae, in the superfamily Conoidea the cone snails and their allies. This genus was originally described by Carpenter off the west coast of the United States. The species occur mainly on the continental shelf and in insular environments. Their real diversity is poorly understood.
Agathotoma is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Mangeliidae.
Calliotropis is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eucyclidae.
Agaronia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Olividae.
Alvania is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Rissoidae.
Brachionidae is a family of rotifers belonging to the order Ploima. Species are found in freshwater and marine habitats.
