Abstract

Amphipods are one of the most diverse groups of peracarid crustaceans, living in both marine and fresh waters, including underground and semi-terrestrial settings. Data about amphipods from the Iraqi coast are spread throughout valid published and confused published references. So, a checklist of the amphipods of the Iraq coast is presented listing 8species belonging to six families, using published records and field observations. The present paper shows that the list of amphipoda from the Iraqi coast is very limited compared with lists of other adjacent countries on the Persian-Arabian Gulf close to Iraq.
