dc.description.abstractDissolved oxygen, a vital parameter for a majority of marine organisms, may decline in the near future due to anthropogenic eutrophication in coastal waters. The effect of depleting dissolved oxygen on the marine benthic community is difficult to assess from field studies, as dissolved oxygen often co-varies with several other parameters, especially organic matter. The controlled laboratory culture experiments can help to assess the effect of a specific parameter on marine organisms. Foraminifera constitute a substantial fraction of the marine benthic organisms, and a few species are vulnerable to depleted oxygen. A majority of the previous culture experiments have used isolated specimens of individual benthic foraminiferal species. Although such studies helped to understand the response of individual species to a particular parameter, they have to be scaled up to understand the community-level response of benthic foraminifera. Here, we assess the community-level response of the shallow subtidal benthic foraminiferal community to five different oxygen concentrations (1.67 mL/L to 5.01 mL/L) in a laboratory culture experiment. The living benthic foraminiferal abundance was considerably high at the intermediate oxygen concentration, whereas it decreased at both the lower and higher concentrations. The decreasing dissolved oxygen caused poor preservation of dead benthic foraminifera due to a drop in pH. The relative abundance trend of the species belonging to the same genus was different, suggesting a species-specific response to the dissolved oxygen. The maximum abundance at 2.91 mL/L and the varying response of individual species clearly suggest a non-linear response of the benthic foraminiferal community to the dissolved oxygen.
