Özet:

 


- A total of 46 sediment samples collected from Harmantaþý locality (Gulf of Saros, Northern Aegean
Sea) were analysed for its Foraminifer and Ostracod content. 68 genera and 111 species of benthic formaninifera
were identified. 99 of the species have calcerous tests, and agglutinant types were represented with only 12
species. 20 genera and 27 species of ostarcods were found. Physicochemical parameters such as depth,
temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH and salinity we measured to reveal the underwater topography of the region.
Several underwater springs were detected around the fault lines. Taxonomical differences as well as morphological
abnormalities were observed in the the foraminiferal species found close to these springs. Water samples
were collected from the springs and near stations. Heavy metal and trace elements analyses of these water
samples revealed that there is no antropogenic pollution around the locality, but the submarine springs are the
major source of the heavy metals and trace elements in sea water. Radioactivity of the sea water samples were
found to be above the WHO limits. The aim of this study is to figure out the possible reasons of the morphological
abnormalities observed in foraminiferal tests.
