👉 Merionoeda is a class of marine crustaceans, meaning it belongs to the family Meronidae, which are known for their strong and durable shells. These animals primarily inhabit freshwater habitats such as rivers and lakes, often in association with other aquatic organisms like fish or invertebrates. They feed on small invertebrates and plant material, using their hard exoskeletons as a platform to climb and burrow into the water's surface.
