Distribution and affinities of the sponge fauna of the Indian region
The 'Indian Region' as defined here covers an area bounded by Long 60°E and 100GE with its southern limit fixed at Lat. 10°S The general distribution of 481 species of sponges of the Indian Region, in widely separated zoogerographic areas such as the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Red...
