In total, five and four different benthic foraminiferal assemblages have been identified in the northern core and southern core, respectively. Comparison with recent faunas from the Red Sea and adjacent oceans allowed the reconstruction of temporal changes in deepwater ventilation, salinity and food availability at the seafloor. . ."

An example from Gullmar Fjord, Sweden, illustrated by benthic foraminifera and hydrographic data.—Estuaries, v. 27, 2004, p. 867–881, 7 figures, 2 tables.—". . . We investigated how the benthic environment, in the deepest part of the fjord, has varied during the 20th century, using benthic foraminifera and an extensive history of instrumental hydrographic data. The foraminifera have undergone one major faunal change and two minor modifications during this time. . ." (from Abstract).
