Looks like Lirceus
This looks like it's probably a species of Lirceus, but the photo is too small for me to get a good look. Do you have a larger version of this image?

Asellus
Hi!

To get a little closer, I say this isopod is an Asellota, namely an Asellus sp, family Asellidae.

Cool image!
Looks like Woodlice! Is that in fresh water? I don't recognize plants or algea very well.
