Full description

Data was collected on the biogeography and biodiversity of photosynthetic symbionts of marine sponges in Australia. From 2000, sponges from around Australia were sampled using a Diving PAM (pulse-amplitude modulation), molecular analyses and classical taxonomy to quantify the abundance of photosynthetic symbionts in sponges, particularly in temperate Western Australian waters.

Lineage

Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded
Statement: 5 m transects using SCUBA, Diving PAM to determine photosynthetic sponges. Sample sponges that are positive. Determine distribuiton of photosynthetic symbionts in sponge using fluorescent microscopy, identify symbionts using 16S rDNA sequencing. Identify sponges using classical taxonomy.
