Resumo: Guanabara Bay, since its discovery, has largely changed with the human occupation causing large amounts of deposited sediment and waste, as well as domestic and industry sewage. Surface sediment was analysed for foraminifera and ostracoda distribution, diversity and dominance studies. These results were compared with TOC analyses aiming the determination of pollution bioindicators. In general, foraminifera dominant species were Ammonia tepida, Buliminella elegantissima and Quinqueloculina seminulum. The foraminifera assemblages presented distinct abundance and diversity values in different regions of the bay. The diversity was higher in the entrance (south) and in the central region than in the north region of the bay. The dominant species, that are characteristic of stressed environments, presented higher values of abundance in the north region. The TOC values increased from south to north regions, and were inversely proportional to foraminifera diversity. The very high TOC values in very polluted areas suggest sediment deposition in anoxic-dysoxic environment. The ostracoda Gen. Cyprideis was dominant and its occurrence increased from south to north region. Occurrence of Callistocythere sigmocostata, Xestoleberis sp., Aurila sp., and Paracypris sp. were restricted to the entrance and central area, indicating a preference for less restricted conditions, like marine conditions. Foraminifera and ostracoda characteristic responses to the environment conditions related high TOC values showed their importance as bioindicators of stressed environments caused by anthropogenic pollution, in the Guanabara Bay.

Sedimentos superficiais foram analisados visando o estudo da distribuição, diversidade e dominância de foraminíferos e ostracodes. Estes estudos foram comparados com análises de COT objetivando a determinação de bioindicadores de poluição. Em geral as espécies dominantes de foraminíferos foram Ammonia tepida,Buliminella elegantissima and Quinqueloculina seminulum. As associações de foraminíferos apresentam distintos valores de abundância e diversidade em diferentes regiões da Baía. A diversidade foi mais elevada na entrada (sul) e na região central do que na região norte da Baía. As espécies dominantes, que são características de ambientes sob estresse, apresentaram valores altos de abundância na região norte. Os valores de COT aumentaram da região sul para o norte e foram inversamente proporcionais à diversidade de foraminíferos. O elevados valores de COT em áreas muito poluídas sugerem deposição sedimentar em ambiente anóxico-desóxico. O Gen. Cyprideis, de ostracode, foi dominante e sua ocorrência aumentou da região sul para o norte. A ocorrência de Callistocythere sigmocostata, Xestoleberis sp., Aurila sp. e Paracypris sp. foi estrita à entrada e região central, indicando uma preferência por condições menos restritas, como condições marinhas. As respostas características dos foraminíferos e ostracodes às condições ambientais relacionadas aos elevados valores de COT mostraram sua importância como bioindicadores de ambientes sob estresse causado por poluição antropogênica na Baía de Guanabara.Universidade Federal do Rio de JaneiroVilela, Claudia G.Sanjinés, Antonio E.
