Shedding light on an East-Mediterranean mesophotic sponge ground community and the regional sponge fauna

Sponges are a diverse and abundant phylum, globally occupying many hard-bottom habitats. However, data on East-Mediterranean sponge communities are scarce, outdated, and mostly concern the shallow waters. This study aimed to expand the knowledge on poriferan fauna along Israel's Mediterranean coast. A newly-discovered mesophotic sponge ground at ~100 m depth was studied using a Remotely-Operated Vehicle, while shallow-water surveys were conducted by scuba diving. In this mesophotic ecosystem, sponges serve as environmental engineers, creating complex 3D structures that attract invertebrates and fish. Quantitative surveys of the mesophotic sponge ground revealed a rich and diverse sponge community with a high percentage cover (~35%). Several mesophotic species are reported for the first time from the Levantine Sea, while others might be novel species. Here we report 111 sponge species along the Mediterranean coast of Israel (from our current surveys and previous studies), 36 of which were collected from the mesophotic habitat. The updated sponge list supports the hypothesis that the sponge diversity in the Levantine Sea is not as species-poor as previously considered. A comparison of the sponge community composition between the shallow waters and the mesophotic depth revealed only partial overlap, with merely a few species thriving along the entire depth range. The mesophotic habitat was found to harbor some species that seem to have disappeared from the shallow habitats decades ago, suggesting that the former may serve as refugia for species stressed by rising temperatures in shallow waters, and that this deeper habitat thus require protection from negative anthropogenic influences.

“…Okuş et al (2004) identified 25 species in 16 genera in the Gökova and Datça-Bozburun Marine Protected Areas. Gözcelioğlu et al (2011) reported 27 species from the Turkish coasts, of which 5 species were new records for the marine fauna of Turkey. Evcen and Çinar (2012) reported 29 species in 19 families from the Turkish coasts, of which 1 species was a new record for the eastern Mediterranean, 8 species were new records for the marine fauna of Turkey, and 19 species were new records for the Levantine Sea.…”

The census of shallow-water sponges from the northern Aegean and Marmara sea coasts resulted in the collection of 10 species of Demospongiae. A new Hymedesmia species, Hymedesmia (Hymedesmia) anatoliensis sp. nov., is described from the western coast of Turkey. Three further species of demosponges, Axinyssa aurantiaca (Schmidt, 1864), Halichondria (Halichondria) contorta (Sarà, 1961), and Dictyonella incisa (Schmidt, 1880), are new to the sponge fauna of Turkey.
