摘要：Benthic foraminiferassemblages of the Turkish Aegean coasts have been investigated. Sedimentsamples from Alibe and Maden Islands (Balıkesir), Kusadası (Aydın), Cesme IlıcaBay (Izmir) and northwestern coast of Karaburun Peninsula (Izmir) have beenanalysed. Similarities, as well as dissimilarities were observed between theassemblages from different locations. The Red Sea orginated alien foraminifer Amphistegina lobifera Larsen was foundto form a very dense population around the south and west part of a submarinespring water in Kusadası, where as it was replaced by Ammonia compacta Cushman and Elphidiumcrispum (Linné) assemblages on the northern and eastern parts. Euthymonacha polita (Chapman) has beenfirst recorded in Kusadası and it is also abundant in the Ilıca Bay. The RedSea originated Coscinospira acicularis (Batsch)has also been first recorded in the Mediterranean from Ilıca Bay. Presence ofthe individuals with colored tests indicates the presence of heavy metals inspring waters. Aberrant aperture morphologies observed in some of the Vertebralina striata d’Orbignyindividuals attracts attention. Abundance of individuals with colored tests, morphological deformities or togetherness, aswell as the Red Sea originated species indicates the special environmental andecological conditions around the submarine springs.
