P. Payne MSc Thesis, Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, University of the Western Cape. Seamounts are poorly understood ubiquitous undersea features, with less than 4% sampled for scientific purposes globally. Consequently, the fauna associated with seamounts in the Indian Ocean remains largely unknown, with less than 300 species recorded. One such feature within this region is Walters Shoal, a shallow seamount located on the South Madagascar Ridge, which is situated approximately 400 nautical miles south of Madagascar and 600 nautical miles east of South Africa. Even though it penetrates the euphotic zone (summit is 15 m below the sea surface) and is protected by the Southern Indian Ocean Deep- Sea Fishers Association, there is a paucity of biodiversity and oceanographic data.

  • Two New Haplosclerid Sponges from Caribbean Panama with Symbiotic Filamentous Cyanobacteria, and an Overview of Sponge-Cyanobacteria Associations
    PORIFERA RESEARCH: BIODIVERSITY, INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY - 2007 31 Two new haplosclerid sponges from Caribbean Panama with symbiotic filamentous cyanobacteria, and an overview of sponge-cyanobacteria associations Maria Cristina Diaz'12*>, Robert W.

[email protected] <3) Department of Biology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL 35294-1170, USA. [email protected] Abstract: Two new species of the order Haplosclerida from open reef and mangrove habitats in the Bocas del Toro region (Panama) have an encrusting growth form (a few mm thick), grow copiously on shallow reef environments, and are of dark purple color from dense populations of the cyanobacterial symbiont Oscillatoria spongeliae. Haliclona (Soestella) walentinae sp. nov. (Chalinidae) is dark purple outside and tan inside, and can be distinguished by its small oscules with radial, transparent canals. The interior is tan, while the consistency is soft and elastic. The species thrives on some shallow reefs, profusely overgrowing fire corals (Millepora spp.), soft corals, scleractinians, and coral rubble. Xestospongia bocatorensis sp. nov. (Petrosiidae) is dark purple, inside and outside, and its oscules are on top of small, volcano-shaped mounds and lack radial canals. The sponge is crumbly and brittle. It is found on live coral and coral rubble on reefs, and occasionally on mangrove roots. The two species have three characteristics that make them unique among the families Chalinidae and Petrosiidae: filamentous, multicellular cyanobacterial symbionts rather than unicellular species; high propensity to overgrow other reef organisms and, because of their symbionts, high rate of photosynthetic production.

O. Box 94766, 1090 GT Amsterdam, The Netherlands Abstract—We review the sponge fauna of the Mariana Islands based on new and existing collections, and literature records. 124 species of siliceous sponges (Class Demospongiae) and 4 species of calcareous sponges (Class Calcarea) have been identified to date, representing 73 genera, 44 families, within 16 orders. Several species are adventive. Approximately 30% (40) of the species encountered are undescribed, but not all are endemics, as the authors know them from other locations. Approximately 30% (38) of the species are known from diverse locations within the Indo West Pacific, but several well-known, widespread species are absent. The actual diversity of sponge fauna of the Marianas is considerably higher, as many species, especially cryptic and encrusting taxa, remain to be collected and studied. Introduction Our knowledge of the sponge fauna of the tropical Pacific has increased substantially in recent years, as a result of enhanced collecting effort driven in 1 current address: Smithsonian Marine Station at Fort Pierce, Fort Pierce FL 34949 2 corresponding author; current address: Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville FL 32611-7800, USA; email: [email protected] Kelly et al.: Sponges of the Marianas 101 part by pharmaceutical interests, and by the attention of a larger number of systematists working on Pacific sponges than ever before.

  • Blue Barrel Sponge Fact Sheet
    Blue Barrel Sponge Fact Sheet Common Name: Blue Barrel Sponge, Giant Barrel Sponge, Marine Sponges, Siliceous Sponges, Volcano Sponge Scientific Name: Xestospongia muta Wild Status: Least Concern Habitat: Found on coral and rocky reef flats Country: Caribbean Sea, Bahamas, Bermuda, Florida, Gulf of Mexico Shelter: Shallow water, Under-hangs, Caves Life Span: 2000 years Size: Diameter of 6 feet Details The Blue Barrel Sponge is one of the largest species of sponge and lives mostly in the Caribbean. They can grow up to 35 feet and have a diameter of 6 feet and live up to 2000 years. As the sponge ages it begins to grow slower and take a long time to finally reach it's full size. Sponges do not have a cardiovascular system and have to have a constant water flow in order to have food, remove waste and have oxygen. They are filter feeders. The body of the sponge has many canals which helps filter the water through their bodies. The canals are lined with cells called Choanocytes which are flagellated. The Flagellum creates a rhythmical beating so water can move easily and food can become trapped. Blue Barrel Sponge can reproduce asexually or sexually because it's a hermaphrodite. They are important to the coral reef in that they provide a habitat for crabs, shrimps, gobies, etc. Cool Facts • The Blue Barrel Sponge dominates coral reef communities. • The Blue Barrel Sponge community in Florida Keys from Conch Reef has been studied since 1997. • The Blue Barrel Sponge is a filter feeder. • The Blue Barrel Sponges' tissues contains photosynthetic symbiotic cyanobacteria which gives it its color.

In this area of ‘peak’ biodiversity, the origins of this high species diversity have often been debated. Xestospongia testudinaria is one of the sponge species that dom- inates coral reef sponge communities in this region. The role of the so-called ‘giant barrel sponge’ for the reef ecosystem has been studied repeatedly, as have its various bioactive compounds. However, the genetic variation of this iconic sponge in the region remains unknown. We investigate over 200 barrel sponge samples from Indonesia, and neighbouring as well as more distant localities (Saudi Arabia, Tanzania, Thailand, Taiwan, Java, Sulawesi and the Great Barrier Reef, Australia) using the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1.

E-mail: [email protected] 2Centro Nacional de Áreas Protegidas, Playa, Havana, Cuba. 3Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, Florida Atlantic University, 5600 US 1 North, Fort Pierce, FL 34946, USA. Abstract This study presents the description of two Callyspongia species new to science, and the distribution of all Callyspongia species recorded during the first joint Cuba–U.S. expedition to characterize Cuban mesophotic coral ecosystems (May– June 2017). Additionally, we propose a key to identify thin branching species of the genus in the Greater Caribbean. The observations here presented are the result of underwater explorations with the Mohawk Remotely Operated Vehicle dives at 35 sites around the island, at depths of 25–188 m, recording images and videos, and collecting specimens. The depth range of five species of Callyspongia, reported before in Cuba, has been extended to deeper waters. Two specimens of branching Callyspongia were collected and described: Callyspongia (Callyspongia) pedroi sp. nov. and Callyspongia (Cladochalina) alcoladoi sp. nov. Morphometric comparisons of external and skeletal traits show clear differences with the other Callyspongia species from the Central West Atlantic with a similar thin branching habit.
