Moinidae
Family of small freshwater animals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moinidae is a crustacean family within the order Cladocera.[1] Species within this family are widely occurring, including North America and Africa.[2] In newer classifications, it is sometimes included in the family Daphniidae.[3] Some Moinidae have accidentally been introduced by humans to areas outside of their native range.[4] Genetics study[5] strongly supports division of Moina into two faunistic groups: European-Western Siberian and Eastern Siberian-Far Eastern, with a transitional zone at the Yenisey River basin (Eastern Siberia).
