Abstract
⺠We set criteria to monitor Ecological Quality Status (EcoQS) using benthic foraminifera. ⺠The exponential bias-corrected Shannon diversity index is used. ⺠Methodological recommendations applicable in environmental monitoring are tested. ⺠Foraminiferal diversity correlates with bottom-water dissolved oxygen concentration. ⺠Benthic foraminiferal diversity can efficiently assess EcoQS in marine waters.
