Why is it important?
The values of Shannon-Weaver index and Fisher index reveal that the benthic foraminiferal taxa in the Qarun Lake were subjected to a strong environmental stress. Ammonia tepida is more tolerant to pollution compared with the other species Bulimina spp. could be considered as sensitive species to pollution in the marine environment.
