It's a Copoepod

Your individual has a segmented prosome, visible legs, 1st antennae extend from the top of prosome, and a ursosome that is split into rami

Next: Consider the 1st antennae length and body shape

Option 1

Antennae are ¼-½ the length of the prosome?

Body shorter and tear drop or diamond shaped



Copoepod1

Option 2

Antennae are about the length of the prosome

Sausage shaped body ( I prefer to day bullet-shaped, I don’t know what sausage looks like this)



Copepod2

Option 3

Antennae are longer than the body

Cigar shaped body, in one case sausage body
