Abstract
⺠Benthic foraminifera (BF) are negatively affected by thermal pollution off Israel. ⺠Abundance and species richness decrease as SST rises, mainly in summer, above 30 °C. ⺠Some species (Lachlanella) are better adapted to live in elevated SST than others. ⺠The thermal plume does not conceal the seasonal changes inherent in these species. ⺠Thermal pollution has adverse effect on BF irrelevant to the natural seasonality.
