“…Published sequences of several genera (e.g., Biemna, or Crella) or Cinachyrella australiensis form no monophyletic groups in our trees, which corroborates earlier molecular analyses (Hall et al, 2013;Redmond et al, 2013;Szitenberg et al, 2013). Molecular analyses based on type material including holotypes of the type species are indispensable to identify the nominal lineages and assist in reclassification of the others .…”

Sponges are important constituents of coral reef ecosystems, including those around the Arabian Peninsula. Despite their importance, our knowledge on demosponge diversity in this area is insufficient to recognize, for example, faunal changes caused by anthropogenic disturbances. We here report the first assessment of demosponge molecular biodiversity from Arabia, with focus on the Saudi Arabian Red Sea, based on mitochondrial and nuclear ribosomal molecular markers gathered in the framework of the Sponge Barcoding Project.We use a rapid molecular screening approach on Arabian demosponge collections and analyse results in comparison against published material in terms of biodiversity. We use a variable region of 28S rDNA, applied for first time in the assessment of demosponge molecular diversity. Our data constitutes a solid foundation for a future more comprehensive understanding of sponge biodiversity of the Red Sea and adjacent waters.

“…The survey of French Polynesia sponges was undertaken with the dual aim of filling the gap of knowledge in this group (Van Soest et al 2012;Hall et al 2013), but also to search for new natural resources as bioactive natural products for aquaculture, a field of special interest for this Pacific island country. Facing the depletion of edible fish stock (over-fishing, ciguatera and Cyanobacteria poisoning spreading), marine aquaculture is a promising alterna-tive source of proteins.…”

A new type of quorum sensing inhibitors was isolated from the sponge Leucetta chagosensis. One of them inhibits strongly the AI-2 channel of Vibrio harveyi, a marine pathogen of special importance in aquaculture. The activity of five different related compounds, including three new natural products discovered there, was investigated leading to structure-activity relationships which are useful for the design of new quorum sensing inhibitors to control marine infectious pathogens.

During a biodiversity assessment on an upper mesophotic artificial reef of Andaman and Nicobar Islands (Shipwreck: HMIS Sophie Marie/HMIS SM), a single specimen of sponge Chelonaplysilla delicata was recorded. Our finding confirms the species taxonomy and highlights the current observation as a first report from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the Indian Ocean. The baseline diversity of epifaunal assemblage is further reported in this study.
