A subclass of Gastropoda
Mollusca , a subclass of Gastropoda. The visceral sac is reversed. Except for the snails, the lateral visceral nerve cords do not cross into an "8" shape, so it is also called the subclass of straight nerves. The gill is located at the rear of the heart, so it is called the posterior gill. Only one gill, or all of them disappeared and replaced by secondary gills. The head has two pairs of antennae. The spiral shells are degenerated, small and simple, some are inner shells, or completely without shells. Generally, there is no cover. Androgyny. All are marine, Devonian, Carboniferous to modern. It is further divided into the order of lateral cavity, pteropoda and nudibranch. [1]

The gills and auricle are located at the rear of the ventricle. There is only one gill, which sometimes degenerates and disappears and is replaced by a secondary gill.

The metabranchia is mostly intertidal to shallow sea species, except for a few species that live in the 5500m deep seabed. aplysiidae Most of them live among the seaweeds in the shallow sea. Southeast coastal notarchus leachii freeri The eggs laid are commonly known as sea vermicelli and can be used for food and medicine. Whelk It is produced along the coast of China and is widely eaten. Many nudibranchs, such as Manatidae Hexabranchiaceae Dilemmantidae Hymenidae The colors of the species in other families are extremely bright. This subclass also includes some species that are planktonic in the world's oceans, such as pteropods, which have no shells and become fins suitable for swimming.
