Endofauna differences between two temperate marine sponges from southwest Australia

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

The endofaunal assemblages associated with two species of sponge from the family Chalinidae (Haliclona sp. 1 and Haliclona sp. 2) were studied at four locations (Bremer Bay, Hamelin Bay, Rottnest Island, and Jurien Bay) during the Australian summer (December-March) of 2005/2006. The volume of each sponge was determined using underwater stereo camera, endofauna were counted and weighed and internal space of each host sponge was measured.
