Preliminary results of foraminiferal analyses: Soline Bay (Krk Island, Adriatic Sea, Croatia)

The foraminiferal assemblages were studied at four stations in Soline Bay (Krk Island, Adriatic Sea, Croatia). Soline Bay is a protected lagoon with sediment rich in organic matter, without anthropogenic, industrial, agricultural impact and with negligible water input. The results demonstrated: dominance of hyaline taxa specimens along the Bay with an increase in number toward the shallower part, a decrease in the relative abundance of porcelaneous taxa specimens in the same direction, a low diversity and a high dominance of a very few species at all stations, plankton specimens in the shallow part of the Bay brought by tide currents.
