Both living and dead Foraminifera were collected from 15 sampling stations in the Araniar river estuary, along the east coast of India for a period of one year. The distribution of the species has been studied with respect to time and space. Based on the Q-mode cluster analysis of the foraminifera, three major biotopes have been recognised, one of which has been subdivided into three sub-biotopes, based on the change in the level of correlation.
