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.

本研究为单次实验，探究操作处理对马西格（约克）岛及科多尔岛（马西格岛周边海域）周边马修斯盘海绵（Coscinoderma mathewsi）的影响。实验于2009年开展，通过测量海绵的生长量（单位：厘米）与存活率，以明确水产养殖环境中操作处理对该海绵生长与存活的影响。本研究旨在明确水产养殖环境下的操作处理会对马修斯盘海绵的生长与存活产生何种影响。
