Freshwater crab Freshwater crab There are around 1,300 species of freshwater crabs, distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics, divided among eight families. They show direct development and maternal care of a small number of offspring, in contrast to marine crabs which release thousands of planktonic larvae. This limits the dispersal abilities of freshwater crabs, so they tend to be endemic to small areas. As a result, a large proportion are threatened with extinction. There are more than 1,300 described species of freshwater crabs, out of a total of 6,700 species of crabs across all environments. The total number of species of freshwater
Dunaliella strain is reported to have oil yield of about 37% (organic basis). "D. tertiolecta" is a fast-growing strain and that means it has a high CO sequestration rate as well. Dunaliella Dunaliella is a genus of the algae family Dunaliellaceae. "Dunaliella" sp. are motile, unicellular, rod to ovoid shaped (9−11 µm) green algae (Chlorophyceae), which are common in marine waters. The organisms are relatively simple to cultivate and do not clump or form chains. The best-known species is the extremely salt tolerant "Dunaliella salina" Teodor. A new species of "Dunaliella" was discovered in the Atacama Desert in 2010. It is
