Abstract
⺠We sampled living benthic foraminifera from Cap de Creus Canyon and adjacent slope (Mediterranean). ⺠Foraminiferal faunas were compared with pore-water chemistry and organic-matter availability. ⺠Canyon faunas appeared better developed than adjacent slope faunas at similar water-depths. ⺠Standing stocks and assemblages were controlled by food supply and food quality. ⺠Redox chemistry appeared to play a secondary role by influencing species diversity.
