Лисица морская обыкновенная

The Bigeye thresher (Alopias pelagicus) is a species in the genus Alopias. It is currently classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in marine environments from coastal waters to deep ocean.

Chrysococcus cordiformis is a freshwater chrysophyte microalga in the genus Chrysococcus, class Chrysophyceae. The species epithet cordiformis — heart-shaped — describes the characteristic lorica shape of this species, a lorica being the rigid or semi-rigid outer case secreted by the cell that gives Chrysococcus its distinctive appearance. The heart-shaped lorica of C. cordiformis provides a clear morphological character distinguishing it from species with spherical, ovoid, or otherwise shaped loricas. Chrysococcus species are unicellular, loricate golden algae that inhabit freshwater ecosystems, particularly the euphotic zones of oligotrophic to mesotrophic lakes and ponds. C. cordiformis has been documented from Norwegian and Swedish freshwater environments, which provide cold, clear-water habitats typical of Scandinavian highland and boreal lakes. Records also extend to Brazil, indicating a wide geographic range consistent with the passive dispersal capacity of small, light-weight planktonic microalgae. The cells of C. cordiformis possess one or two flagella that protrude through an opening in the lorica, enabling active swimming in the water column. Photosynthesis is conducted using chlorophylls a and c with carotenoid accessory pigments. Chrysococcus species may also feed phagotrophically on bacteria. C. cordiformis has not been formally evaluated under IUCN criteria and retains a conservation status of Not Evaluated. It represents a characteristic member of freshwater chrysophyte communities associated with cool, acidic, or nutrient-poor Scandinavian lake systems.
