Foraminifera from Peru: Brizalina alata

Foraminifera are protozoans found in all marine environments, they secrete a test of calcium carbonate. These organisms usually dominate both shallow and deep sediments.Despite a strong presence in all the oceans of the world, still remains largely unknown its diversity, and still do not know all benthic processes in which they participate.

Peru has one of the most productive seas in terms of fish production, but other components of this large marine ecosystem are also very important in relation to its functioning. Benthic organisms have a key role in several processes related with organic matter cycling and others aspects of  metabolisms of the marine system. Central Perú was sampled in 2007 during Galathea Expedition*. Here, I present a preliminary taxonomic identification** of some forams found in Huacho-Peru, corresponding to 100-300 m depth range.

Workshop: Taxonomy and Diversity of Marine Meiofauna – Brazil

 

The term meiofauna refers to the benthic organisms retained at a 0.063mm mesh and passing through a 0.5mm mesh. This benthic component comprises at least 25 phyla of the animal kingdom and may reach densities above 10⁶ individuals per square meter. Although extremely diverse and abundant, this group of microscopic organisms has been poorly explored, specially in terms of ...

Chercheur en écologie benthique (H/F) [IFREMER: benthic ecologist]

Job profile :
Les écosystèmes marins profonds recèlent une forte diversité biologique liée à la variabilité des environnements benthiques. La biodiversité et la dynamique de ces écosystèmes à l’état naturel sont encore bien mal connues ; pourtant ils font l’objet d’un intérêt croissant pour l’exploitation des ressources naturelles qu’ils abritent. C’est pourquoi l’Unité Etudes des Ecosystèmes Profonds développe des projets de recherche destinés à acquérir des connaissances sur la biodiversité et le fonctionnement de ces écosystèmes afin de contribuer à proposer des solutions pour une exploitation responsable des ressources qu’ils abritent...
