Abstract

Fourteen bottom samples from the north-western part of the Persian Gulf (Iranian side), ranging in depth from 32 to 54 m, have been analysed for their ostracod content. Of a total of 50 species identified seven taxa are new (Aglaiocypris pellucida, Cytherella bigemina, Cytherella retroflexa, Cytherella sericea, Heinzmalzina ocellata, Paijenborchella calcarina andSagmatocythere nupta). Compared to a previous sampling in 1965, eight additional ostracod species occur in the modern Persian Gulf. Water depth and substrate may be the most important factors controlling the distribution of some ostracod species. The fauna demonstrates strongest affinities with that of the Red Sea and the Indo-West Pacific. Contrary to previous statements, none of the recorded species in this study is shared with the Mediterranean fauna, except for the cosmopolitanCyprideis torosa.

Kurzfassung

Vierzehn Proben aus dem nordwestlichen Teil des Persischen Golfs (Iranische Seite) aus Wassertiefen von 32 bis 54 m wurden auf ihren Ostracoden-Gehalt untersucht. Von insgesamt 50 festgestellten Arten sindAglaiocypris pellucida, Cytherella bigemina, Cytherella retroflexa, Cytherella sericea, Heinzmalzina ocellata, Paijenborchella calcarina undSagmatocythere nupta neu. Im Vergleich zur ersten Bestandsaufnahme 1965 leben acht weitere Ostracoden-Arten gegenwärtig im Persischen Golf. Wassertiefe und Substrat sind wahrscheinlich die wichtigsten Faktoren, die die Verbreitung einiger Arten kontrollieren. Die Fauna zeigt starke Affinität zu der aus dem Indo-West Pazifik und dem Roten Meer. Entgegen den früheren Angaben ist, abgesehen von der kosmopolitischenCyprideis torosa, keine von den in dieser Arbeit festgestellten Ostracoden-Arten mit dem Mittelmeer gemeinsam.
