Abstract
The specific ecology of benthic foraminifera is treated in Boltovskoy & Wright (1976) and data on environmental parameters from the area can be found in the various publications cited in the bibliography. Consequently we are going to discuss here only some general aspects of ecology and environmental relationships of the foraminifera with special reference to conditions in the southwest Atlantic shelf.
