• We investigated distribution and presence of theratological specimens in benthonic foraminiferal assemblages along coast of Sorrento Peninsula (southern Tyrrhenian sea). Thirtyeight samples were analyzed and a total of 97 benthonic foraminiferal species, were identified along shelf zone. Calcareous forms were dominant and equal to 82.6 % of the total population, whereas agglutinated forms charactirezed only the 17.4 % of the total assemblage. A small number of specimens, related to eleven species, Connemarella rudis, Quinqueloculina disparilis, Q. milletti, Q. seminulum, Q. sp., Adelosina pulchella, Peneroplis pertusus, Asterigerinata mamilla, Elphidium crispum, Cibicides lobatulus and Planorbulina mediterranensis, exhibited ten distinct types of morphological deformities of their test. These include:(1) aberrant chamber shape and lack of sculpture; (2) aberrant shape of last chamber; (3) abnormal growth of last chamber;(4) double aperture;(5) wrong coiling; (6) anomalous protuberance;(7) tendency to siamese twin;(8) high spire giving spiroconvex test;(9) additional chamber and (10) poor development. Morphological deformities are independent of latitude, taxonomic position, mode of life and feeding strategy of foraminifera, they can occur within the range of natural variability of a given species in given environmental conditions. Benthonic foraminifera can reflect human-induced environmental perturbation and can be used as bioindicators for monitoring coastal pollution. (literal)
