          Abstract

          Durante el año 2008, el Comité Oceanográfico Nacional (CONA), Chile, organizó la expedición CIMAR 14 Fiordos, a la zona de canales y fiordos chilenos, comprendida entre los 47° y 50° S. Uno de los grupos estudiados fue el de los foraminíferos bentónicos. En el presente trabajo se entregan antecedentes de la estructura comunitaria del grupo y se comparan los resultados con los obtenidos en cruceros previos. El material estudiado proviene de muestras de sedimento marino superficial, obtenidas en 27 estaciones con un box corer. Las muestras fueron lavadas, secadas y la microfauna extraída bajo lupa binocular. Posteriormente se identificaron y contaron las especies, aplicándose índices estadísticos uni y multivariados. En total se obtuvieron 2.569 caparazones de foraminíferos bentónicos, pertenecientes a los subórdenes: Rotaliina (60,8 %; 39 especies); Textulariina (26,9 %; 19 especies), Miliolina (6,4 %; 11 especies), Lagenina (5,77%), Involutinina (1,97%), Spirillinina (0,69%) y Robertinina (0,42%) con una especie cada uno. Las especies más abundantes fueron Uvigerina bifurcata (13,6 %), Recurvoides scitullum (8,7 %), Melonis affinis (6,8%), Cassidulinoides parkerianus (5,2%), Recurvoides contortus (5,2 %), Globobulimina notovata y Oridorsalis tener (4,3 %). Las especies con una distribución geográfica más amplia fueron G. notovata, Recurvoides contortus y U. bifurcata. Un análisis de conglomerados permitió separar a las estaciones en 4 grupos: 1) sin situación geográfica definida, 2) área costera, 3) área sur y 4) área norte. En relación con los resultados obtenidos en campañas previas hubo un incremento en el número de foraminíferos arenáceos, y especies típicamente marinas fueron reemplazadas por otras más eurihalinas.

          In 2008, the National Oceanographic Committee (CONA) of Chile, organised the CIMAR14 Fiords Expedition to the Chilean channels and fiords, located between 47° and 50° S. One of the groups studied was the benthic foraminifera. Information on the community structure of the group is reported and results are compared with those obtained in previous cruises. The material studied comes from samples of superficial sea sediments, collected at 27 stations with a Box Corer. The samples were washed, dried and the microfauna extracted under a binocular microscope. Subsequently the species were identified and counted, assigning univariate and multivariate statistical indexes. Overall, 2,569 shells of benthic foraminifera were obtained belonging to the following suborders: Rotaliina (60,8 %; 39 species); Textulariina (26,9 %; 19 species), Miliolina (6,4 % ; 11 species), Lagenina (5,77%), Involutinina (1,97%), Spirillinina (0,69%) and Robertinina (0,42%) with one species each. Uvigerina bifurcata (13, 6 %), Recurvoides scitullum (8,7 %), Melonis affinis (6,8%), Cassidulinoides parkerianus (5,2%), Recurvoides contortus (5,2 %), Globobulimina notovata and Oridorsalis tener (4,3 %) were the most abundant. The species with a wider geographic distribution were G. notovata, Recurvoides contortus and U. bifurcata. A conglomerate analysis allowed splitting the stations into four groups: 1) without defined geographic distribution, 2) coastal area, 3) southern area and 4) northern area. Compared to the results obtained in previous surveys, there was an increase in the number of sand-foraminifera, and some species- mostly marine- were replaced by more euryhaline ones.
