Pregnant Daphnia Magna (Small Planktonic Crustacean)
The Nikon Small World Competition was established in 1975 to honor the art of photomicrography, or photography through a light microscope. In 2019, this image of Daphnia magna, also known as the water flea, was a finalist in the competition. Daphnia magna is a small crustacean found in freshwater environments and is frequently used in scientific research due to its short lifespan and ease of cultivation. In addition to being a primary consumer that feeds on algae and other microorganisms, Daphnia magna is also an important food source for fish and other aquatic animals.
