Abstract
The aim of the present study is determine living (Rose Bengal stained) foraminifera fauna in the Flamengo Inlet, a subtropical inlet placed in Ubatuba a city from São Paulo State in Brazil. The inlet was sampled during the 2010 austral summer (March): 34 surface sediment samples were collected with a Van Veen grab sampler. Faunal analysis followed standard procedures, where a fixed volume of 50 cm3 of sediment was washed through sieves with 0.50 and 0.062 mm openings and the living plus dead fauna were picked out.
The living foraminifera fauna of the study area among all the samples has a total of 32,002 specimens and is composed mainly by calcareous taxa. The main species found are Buliminella eligantissima, Ammonia beccarii, Brizalina striatula and Nonionella atlantica, all of which are calcareous and very frequent in coastal areas. The Flamengo Inlet has a typical foraminiferal fauna to subtropical coastal environments, with high values of diversity, evenness, abundance and richness revealing that the inlet is not strongly affected by severe anthropogenic impact even though the stations near some marinas, at the inner portion known as “Saco do Ribeira,” showed the lowest abundance and richness values.
