ResumoAnalysis of Recent foraminiferal distribution patterns for the Amerasian Basin and the adjacent continental shelves indicate 3 major biofacies: the Trochammina nana biofacies (17-350 m), the Cassidulina teretis biofacies (350-900 m) and the Stetsonia horvathi biofacies (below 900 m), with the T. nana and S. horvathi biofacies divided into subfacies. Water mass properties appear to play the dominant role in controlling the distribution of the biofacies. Recent benthonic foraminiferal biofacies in the Arctic Ocean
