This work analyses the distribution of living benthic foraminiferal assemblages surface sediments in different intertidal areas Ria de Aveiro (Portugal), a polihaline and anthropized coastal lagoon. The relationships among association with environmental parameters (temperature, salinity, Eh pH), grain size, quantity quality organic matter (enrichment carbohydrates, proteins lipids), pollution caused by metals, mineralogical data are studied an attempt to identify indicators adaptability...

This study investigated the environmental quality of Bizerte Lagoon (Tunisia) through an integrated approach that combined environmental, biogeochemical, and living benthic foraminiferal analyses. Specifically, we analyzed physicochemical parameters water sediment. The textural, mineralogical, geochemical characteristics sediment, including total organic carbon, nitrogen, simultaneously extracted metals (SEM), acid volatile sulfides (AVS), chlorophyll a, CaCO3, changes in bacterial...

Since the 1960 s, there has been a rapid expansion of drilling activities in central and northern Adriatic Sea to meet increasing global energy demand. The discharges organic inorganic pollutants, as well alteration sediment substrate, are among main impacts associated with these activities. In present study, we evaluate response benthic foraminifera three gas platforms northwestern Sea, special focus on Armida A platform for which extensive geochemical data (organic matter, trace elements,...

Lead (Pb) is regarded as a highly toxic element that poses serious threat to biota. A mesocosm experiment was performed assess the influence of Pb on meiofaunal (metazoans within 45-500 μm) and benthic foraminiferal (protozoan) communities. To this end, sediments bearing such communities were incubated in mesocosms, exposed different levels seawater, monitored for up 8 wk. Concentrations <1 ppm water did not promote significant increase metal sediments. Relatively high concentrations seemed...
