Ceriodaphnia dubia is a species of water flea in the class Branchiopoda, living in freshwater lakes, ponds, and marshes in most of the world.

They are small, generally less than 1 millimetre (0.039 in) in length.

Males are smaller than females.

C. dubia moves using a powerful set of second antennae,[2] and is used in toxicity testing of wastewater treatment plant effluent water in the United States.

[3] Climate change and particularly ultraviolet radiation B may seriously damage C. dubia populations, as they seem to be more sensitive than other cladocerans such as Daphnia pulex or D. pulicaria[4].
