Candacia is a genus of copepods belonging to the Candaciidae family. These copepods are omnivorous, meaning they consume both plant and animal matter. Their primary mode of locomotion is drag-powered swimming, which involves using their appendages to create water currents and move through their aquatic environment. These organisms exhibit bilateral symmetry, which means that their bodies have a balanced, mirror-image arrangement of body parts on both sides. Like all living organisms, they are composed of multicellular cells, with their bodies consisting of numerous individual cells working together to carry out various functions.
