随着世界范围的或区域性的海洋调查和海洋沉积研究的迅速发展,目前对世界各大洋和各主要海区的浮游有孔虫都已或多或少的进行过调查研究,惟对南海的浮游有孔虫还了解得很不够。过去,仅有Challenger号(1872—1876)和Albatross号(1907—1910)的一些零星记录。前者曾在吕宋岛(Luzon I.)西岸(17°54′N,117°14′E)记录过7种(Brady,1884);后者在南海的调查站主要布设于菲律宾群岛西面海域,并有几个调查 With the rapid development of world-wide or regional marine surveys and marine sediment research, planktonic foraminifera in the world’s major oceans and major sea areas have been investigated to a greater or lesser extent. However, Foraminifera also know enough. In the past, there were only a few sporadic records of Challenger (1872-1876) and Albatross (1907-1910). The former recorded 7 species (Brady, 1884) on the west bank of Luzon I. (17 ° 54’N, 117 ° 14’E); the latter was mainly located in the waters south of the Philippine Islands And there are several surveys
