Influence of re-orientation on alignment to flow and tissue production in a Spongia sp.

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

Spongia sp. individuals on intertidal reefs in Darwin Harbour were rotated by 90 degrees so tissue was re-orientated to face across the prevailing currents. Differences in growth between re-orientated sponges, and both moved control and undisturbed control treatments were made over a 3 month period.
