Brief description

Abundance and size of the sponge Coscinoderma matthewsi was surveyed at 5 island groups in November 2006: Ugar (Stephen Island) and Erub (Darnley Island) in eastern Torres Strait; and Masig (Yorke Island), Poruma (Coconut Island) and Warraber (Sue Island) in central Torres Strait. These island groups are on average, 66 km apart.Surveys were carried out at 7 or 8 randomly selected locations in each island group with each location at least 2 km apart, averaging 8 km. Each location was divided into 2 sites, approximately 200 m apart. At each site, three 30 x 1 m strip transects, separated by at least 20 m in depths between 7-12 m were quantitatively surveyed for Coscinoderma matthewsi. The greatest dimension of every Coscinoderma matthewsi was measured with a ruler to examine size frequency distribution patterns. For any diseased sponge, the percent of infected or necrotic pinacoderm was noted. Environmental factors were also recorded: angle of the reef slope and percentage benthic cover of rock, rubble and sand. This research was undertaken to:1. assess the abundance and size of a commercial bath sponge species, Coscinoderma matthewsi, at different spatial scales in Torres Strait. 2. identify elements of environmental risk (evidence of disease, sedimentation, invasives).
