Abstract
After specifying the date and location for sample collection, the present research focused on studying the external appearance of the species Sinodiaptomus valkanovi (Kiefer, 1938). Samples were collected from the Al-Husseiniyah River, north of Karbala province. The genus Sinodiaptomus is found in most water systems. The species was identified within the sample based upon morphological characteristics of the body, namely shape along with other appendages; the number of segments in the antennules and copepods, how the spines on the base segment of the swimmeret were observed to be arranged, the caudal rami; and finally the shape of the specimen’s fifth limb.
