Bivalvulida
Bivalvulida is an order of myxosporean parasites which contains a number of species which cause economically significant losses to aquaculture and fisheries, such as Myxobolus cerebralis and Ceratomyxa shasta. The Myxosporean stages of members of the bivalvulida are characterised by their two spore valves (hence the name), which meet in a "suture line" which encircles the spore. They usually contain two polar capsules, but species have been reported which contain either one or four.

gollark: Okay, I finished reading the backlog, I have a vague idea of what this discussion is about and it seems like mostly... weird nonsense.
gollark: 510 new messages? Wow. What *happened*?
gollark: What are you referring to there? People knew the Earth was round for more than two millenia. Some Greek person even worked out its circumference with surprising accuracy in something like 200 BC.
gollark: <@669495592400977920> That really just sounds like pushing your particular weird religious-ish views, which I cannot agree with.
gollark: Er, what?
