Remipedia is a class of blind crustaceans, closely related to hexapods, found in coastal aquifers which contain saline groundwater, with populations identified in almost every ocean basin so far explored, including in Australia, the Caribbean Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Mar 9, 2025 · Remipedia represent a comparatively small group of crustaceans, with only 20 living species assigned to three families. The first specimens were discovered three decades ago during a cave diving expedition on Grand Bahamas Island (Yager, 1981).

Remipedia is one of the most recently discovered classes of crustaceans, first described in 1981 from anchialine caves in the Bahamas Archipelago. The class is divided into the order Enantiopoda, represented by two fossil species, and Nectiopoda, which …

Remipedia is an archaic Clustacea class. There are now about 10 known living species. They have not been well studied and all known species are from underwater caves. They live in the burrows of the volcanic islands, such as those of the Hawaiian archipelago.

Remipedia is a class of blind crustaceans. They live in coastal aquifers. So long as the water is salty, these little animals can be found. They are found in almost every ocean basin, including in Australia, the Caribbean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean. They live in subtropical waters. [1]

Remipedes (REM-mih-peeds) are wormlike crustaceans that lack both color and eyes and measure 0.35 to 1.8 inches (9 to 45 millimeters) long. They have a short, distinct head and, depending on species, a long body trunk with 10 to 32 segments. Most of the trunk segments have a pair of flattened, paddlelike limbs directed out from the sides.
