The spatial distribution of benthic foraminiferal morpho-groups has been documented from the Kongsfjorden-Krossfjorden, to assess its environmental significance. Benthic foraminiferal abundance increases from the inner-most fjord towards the mouth in Kongsfjorden. The calcareous forms dominate the b...
