This behavior may temporally affect filtration activity, making it difficult to study and understand sponge feeding biology. To examine the inter- play between osculum dynamics and filtration activity, small (18 mm3) single-osculum explants of the demosponge Halichondria panicea were studied. Time-lapse video stereo-microscope record- ings of the osculum cross-sectional area (OSA) were made simultaneously with measurements of the filtration rate (~15°C, ~20 PSU) using the clearance method. Osculum dynamics, as expressed by temporal variation of the OSA, including osculum contraction and expansion, correlated with variability in the explant filtration rate, and no water pumping was observed during periods of osculum closure. A linear relationship between filtration rate (FR) and OSA revealed a constant −1 exhalant jet velocity: vjet = FR/OSA = 2.3 ± CI95% 0.13 cm s . The mean filtration rate of explants −1 −1 was 0.28 ± CI95% 0.06 ml min , corresponding to a volume-specific filtration rate of 15 ml min (cm3 sponge)−1, which is 2 to 3 times higher than that reported for larger individuals of H. panicea with multiple oscula. This is the first demonstration of a direct relationship between filter feeding and osculum dynamics in a sponge.

In demosponges, the that actively pump seawater through their water pumping power is generated by choanocyte cham- canal system to obtain suspended food particles bers in which 80 to 100 beating flagella impel water (Bergquist 1978). The basic element for both water to enter the sponge body through numerous pores pumping and filtration is the choanocyte, with a (ostia), creating flow through a complex aquiferous beating flagellum to induce water flow and a collar of system composed of inhalant and exhalant canals microvilli that sieves free-living bacteria and other that merge into one or more exhalant opening particles down to ~0.1 µm for the purpose of feeding (oscula) on the sponge chimney or surface (Larsen & (Fjerdingstad 1961, Brill 1973, Riisgård & Larsen Riisgård 1994).

  • The Associates of Four Species of Marine Sponges of Oregon and Washington Abstract Approved Redacted for Privacy (Ivan Pratt, Major Professor)
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Edward Ray Long for the M. S. in Zoology (Name) (Degree) (Major) /.,, Date thesis presented ://,/,(//i $» I Ì Ì Title The Associates of Four Species of Marine Sponges of Oregon and Washington Abstract approved Redacted for Privacy (Ivan Pratt, Major Professor) Four species of sponge from the coasts of Oregon and Wash- ington were studied and dissected for inhabitants and associates. All four species differed in texture, composition, and habitat, and likewise, the populations of associates of each species differed, even when samples of two of these species were found adjacent to one another. Generally, the relationships of the associates to the host sponges were of four sorts: 1. Inquilinism or lodging, either accidental or intentional; 2. Predation or grazing; 3. Competition for space resulting in "cohabitation" of an area, i, e. a plant or animal growing up through a sponge; and 4. Mutualism. Fish eggs in the hollow chambers of Homaxinella sp. represented a case of fish -in- sponge inqilinism, which is the first such one reported in the Pacific Ocean and in this sponge. The sponge Halichondria panicea, with an intracellular algal symbiont, was found to emit an attractant into the water, which Archidoris montereyensis followed in behavior experiments in preference to other sponges simultane- ously offered. A total of 6098 organisms, representing 68 species, were found associated with the specimens of Halichondria panic ea with densities of up to 19 organisms per cubic centimeter of sponge tissue. There were 9581 plants and animals found with Microciona prolifera, and 150 with Suberites lata.

Introduction on “Basal Metazoans” In many textbooks the term ―lower metazoans‖ still refers to an undefined assemblage of invertebrate phyla, whose phylogenetic relationships were rather undefined. This assemblage may contain both bilaterian and non-bilaterian taxa.
