Özet:

 


                 
                         Lagoon Bardawil, belonging to the few 
hypersaline lagoons in the Mediterranean Sea, is located in the middle 
of the Sinai coast. Composition, distribution, and seasonal dynamics of 
large planktonic tintinnids and foraminifera at 12 stations in the 
lagoon were studied in 2009 and 2010. Fifteen species of Ciliophora 
(Tintinnina) and two species of Foraminifera were identified. The 
occurrence of different species varied greatly in the study period: two 
species were found in 42% to 49% of all samples, two species in 21% to 
23%, 4 species in 10% to 20%, and 10 species in 1% to 5%. Only three 
species were found throughout the year. The average total number of all 
recorded protozoa varied from 2333 ind./m3 (spring) to 13,733 ind./m3 (winter): Tintinnina from 1250 ind./m3 (spring) to 12,867 ind./m3 (winter) and Foraminifera from 200 ind./m3 (autumn) to 1083 ind./m3
 (spring). The distribution of total abundance of tintinnids and 
foraminifers in the lagoon area was close to random in summer and 
spring; during autumn and winter, it was aggregated. Tintinnid and 
foraminifera studies in Lagoon Bardawil were carried out previously 
(1985-2010); summarizing all data, it was found that interannual 
differences may be explained by stochastic causes and nondirected 
climate fluctuations.
