Planktonic Foraminifera (PF) are one of the most studied groups of pelagic organisms. Constraining the impact of physical factor onto the PF community composition during their transport is crucial to understand how it impacts their biography and ecology. During the M124 cruise, 16 Multinet cast have been performed to characterize the vertical and horizontal distribution of PF community and link it to the oceanic circulation of the South Atlantic.
