Abstract
A total of 25 surface sediment samples, collected along a North-South transect (from 9.69° N to 55.01° S and from 80° E and 40° E) in the south western Indian Ocean, were used to study the coiling direction patterns in foraminifera planktonic species Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, Globigerinita glutinata and Globigerina bulloides. Comparison between the coiling direction and mean proloculus size (MPS) revealed that all these profiles along N-S transect were not in tandem and thus indicated non-existence of any relationship between the coiling direction and reproductive modes expressed in terms of mean proloculus size.
