Daphnia nivalis is a species of water flea in the family Daphniidae, closely related to Daphnia carinata.[2] It is endemic to the Snowy Mountains of eastern Australia , where it lives only in water bodies that have existed for less than 20,000 years,[2] including Lake Cootapatamba, Australia's highest lake.[3] Due to its restricted range, it is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List.[1]
