Effects of handling on sponges of aquaculture potential from the Torres Strait, Australia (MTSRF Project 1.3.2)

A one-off study of the effects of handling on Coscinoderma mathewsi around Masig (Yorke) and Kodall (off Masig) Islands. Experimental work was carried out in 2009.Measurements of growth (cm) and survival were made to determine how handling might affect sponge growth and survival under aquaculture conditions. To determine how handling under aquaculture condiditons might affect sponge growth and survival in Coscinoderma mathewsi.

本研究为单次性研究，旨在探究马西格（约克）岛及科多尔（马西格岛周边海域）周边海域马修斯盘海绵（Coscinoderma mathewsi）的操作处理效应。实验于2009年开展，通过测量该海绵的生长量（单位：厘米）与存活率，以明确水产养殖环境下操作处理对其生长及存活的影响。
