Abstract
Deep-sea harpacticoid copepods are poorly known worldwide. Due to sampling difficulties, these organisms are seldom captured. Recent investigation, however, has allowed for the discovery of many new species and genera in diverse regions of the Americas. The deep-water harpacticoid fauna from the Americas is reviewed, including their distribution and some aspects of their ecology. Information related to the occurrence of each species is provided and discussed in a regional context.
