Summarizing authors' own results and literature data, a brief overview of the Cyclopoida species in hypersaline waters of the Crimea and the world was done. In total, 28 species of cyclops in these extreme conditions were found. Twice representatives of these copepods were observed at salinity up to 300 g/L. The frequency of cyclops occurrence depends on salinity. It was found that the salinity up to 120-150 g/L is not the main factor affecting the presence and abundance of cyclops in water bodi
