Description 531-538
Sediment and water samples were collected at 50 stations
from the Chilka Lake during May and December, 2009 for
foraminiferal studies and determination of important sediment and water
parameters. The salinity ranges from 27.9 to 40.9 ‰, the temperature range is
from 23.6o to 32o C, the dissolved oxygen content ranges
from 6.4 to 8.2 ml/L and the substrate of the lake is characterized by sand,
silty sand, muddy sand, clayey sand and sandy clay. Sand dominates the other
types of substrate towards the mouth of the channel at Arakudha Village.
Organic matter content of the sediment varies from 0.31 to 2.0 %. Fifteen
agglutinated foraminiferal species - Ammobaculites agglutinans, A.
directus, A. exiguus, Ammotium fragile, Gaudryina exilis, Haplophragmoides
canariense, Jadammina
macrescens, Miliammina fusca,
M. fusca var., Reophax
dentaliniformis, Textularia earlandi, Tiphotrocha kellettae, Trochammina
advena, T. hadai and T. ochracea of which Miliammina fusca, M. fusca var.
and Ammobaculites exiguus are of abundant occurrence
tolerating relatively higher salinity and temperature.
