KITAZATO, HIROSHI (Institute of Geosciences, Shizuoka University). 1989. Vertical Distribution of Benthic Foraminifera within Sediments (Preliminary Report). Benthos Research (Bull. Jap. Assoc. Benthology), 35/36: 41-51. I analyzed the vertical distribution of benthic foraminifera within sediments. Samples are collected from the Pacific, facing to the Central Japan. I also cultured sublittoral to middle bathyal benthic foraminifera in laboratory for ecological observations. Benthic foraminifera are vertically stratified within sediments. Both epi-and infaunal life habits are recognized among benthic foraminiferal species. Foraminifera belonging to the same life habits have similar shell characters, and have similar colours of cytoplasm. Surface dwelling foraminifera have low trochospiral or planispiral chamber arrangements, and also have thick and strong chamber walls. Foraminifera which are living within sediments have high trochospiral tests. They have thin, transparent chamber walls. Cytoplasm through chamber wall shows black in colour. It is probable that these species have symbionts in their cytoplasm.
