  • Even though very few biological data on dinoflagellates from Iraqi aquatic ecosystems are available to date, there are none on the genus Scrippsiella. For this reason, the survey was conducted along four sites in the Shatt Al-Arab River between November 2009 and July 2010. A dense population of Scrippsiella-like dinoflagellate was observed in the studied samples during November and December 2009. Less dense population of the same taxon was encountered in the downstream sites in July 2010. Based on observations of thecal plate pattern in epifluorescence microscopy, the species was attributed to Scrippsiella trochoidea. The occurrence of S. trochoidea is reported for the first time in Iraqi waters from a wide range of temperature (17.9°C–35.2°C) and salinity (2.3–16.7).
