and Anakao, Madagascar) in the west Indian Ocean.
Sponge species were counted inmultiple 0.5m2 quadrats
at depths of between 0 and 20m at a number of sites
withinlocalitieswithineach region.Despite the relatively
small areas sampled, sponge samples comprised a total
of130 species and 70 genera of the classesDemospongiae
