One of the typical water fleas in the genus Daphnia, a planktonic crustacean, is the water flea D. magna. They are found in large numbers in freshwater environments throughout the northern hemisphere and South Africa. With their size of 2mm (males) to 5mm (females), they are among the largest of their kind. A translucent shell made of chitin protects the body of this flea.

In aquaculture, Daphnia Magna is a popular fish food.
