Note

1982.—The
Indian River, a shallow, 195 km long estuary, is bounded on the east by a
barrier island. Three inlets divide the barrier island, providing exchange with
the Atlantic Ocean. Twelve areas covering the length of the estuary were
sampled for living foraminifera. Altogether, 17,348 individuals belonging to
94 species were identified. The mean number of individuals and the number
of species generally increase from north to south.
The densities of the 15 most abundant species, comprising 95% of the total number of living individuals, were analyzed by canonical variate analysis.
