Cell Turnover and Detritus Production in Marine Sponges from Tropical and Temperate Benthic Ecosystems
Figure 5
Daily detritus production of five tropical coral reef sponge species.
(A) Daily detritus production (mg) and controls (mean±SD). Significant differences were found between detritus collected from pots containing sponge and control pots without sponge (* p<0.001). (B) Percentage bodyweight produced in detritus per day in five tropical coral reef species.
