Özet:

 


One hundred and eleven benthic foraminiferal species belonging to 36 genera, 25 families, 16 superfamilies and 4 suborders were identified from twenty samples collected from Bir Ali beach on the Yemeni Arabian Sea coastline. The benthic foraminifera assemblages were dominated by species belonging to Miliolina suborder with 71 species and 17 genera, followed by Rotaliina with 29 species and 14 genera, Textulariina 9 species and 3 genera and Lagenina 2 species and 2 genera. The distribution of recent shallow-water benthic foraminifera in surface sediment samples is in varians from sample to another. Higher abundance of genus Quinqueloculina is recorded in almost all the samples of the study area. The recorded assemblages show a high similarity to the foraminiferal assemblages of the IndoPacific region, East African coast and Red Sea.
