Description 293-299
Fifty two species belonging to twenty one
benthic foraminiferal genera have been recorded from seventeen samples
collected from three localities; 12 samples from saline pool and its
surrounding Sabkha at Ras Shukeir area and 5 samples from the Gulf
of Suez. Their taxonomy, ecology and the main factors controlling
their distribution are discussed. The frequency of fauna in Gulf
of Suez, evaporatic sabkha and saline pool are (59.27%), (32.78%) and (7.95%) respectively, which reflect abnormal
salinity and temperature. All identified species were previously recorded from
Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea.
