摘要:15.00 Normal 0 21 false false false TR X-NONE X-NONE Four alien foraminifer species are found in the recentsediment samples collected from the Aegean coast of Turkey. Nodobaculariella cristobalensis McCulloch and N.galapagosensis McCulloch are observed in Güllük Bay (Muğla), Karşıyaka(İzmir) and Babakale (Balıkesir). These two species have not yet been recordedin the Mediterranean. Their absence in the Indian Ocean fauna suggests anintroduction via ballast waters. Two individuals of Indo-Pacific originatedforaminifer species, Pseudonodosariabrevis (d'Orbigny, 1846) are found in the recent sediment samples fromIldır Bay (İzmir) and Akköy (Aydın). This constitutes the first records ofthese species in the Mediterranean Sea. Cornuspiroidesstriolata (Brady) specimens are observed in grab samples collected fromseven different stations in Ildır Bay. This is the second record of thisspecies from the Turkish coastline and extends its range of distribution.
