The Bryozoa or ectoprocta are small benthic, sessile, aquatic invertebrates growing as colonies of connected zooids on submerged substrates, feed on suspended organic particles which they captured by the whorls of ciliated tentacles (lophophore). Globally about 94 bryozoan species are found in freshwater, consisting of 24 genera and 10 families (Massard & Geimer, 2008). Most of these species belongs to exclusively freshwater inhabiting class Phylactolaemata.
