Taxonomical and biogeographical notes on the sponges of the Strait of Magellan
The sponge material from the Straits of Magellan collected by the research vessels Cariboo in 1991 and Victor Hensen in 1994, and by a shallow water diving team, were studied. Most of the investigated bottoms were soft or detritic and true rocky shores were seldom surveyed. However, alternative hard...

description |
The sponge material from the Straits of Magellan collected by the research vessels Cariboo in 1991 and Victor Hensen in 1994, and by a shallow water diving team, were studied. Most of the investigated bottoms were soft or detritic and true rocky shores were seldom surveyed. However, alternative hard substrata are the holdfasts of dead laminarians, very abundant in the Straits, which represent a sort of microenvironment suitable for settling of sponges and other benthic organisms. Out of a total of more than 150 specimens, 44 demosponge species were identified. The resulting taxonomic pattern suggests a very heterogeneous sponge assemblage, partly related to the variety of the surveyed stations. Sponge communities are characterized by a patchy distribution, a high specific diversity and a low biomass. Most of the recorded species are of austral origin and distribution, confirming the Subantarctic character of the demosponge fauna of the Magellan Straits and its close affinity (14 species in common) with the fauna of the Antarctic continent. Twenty species identified in this study had never been recorded before from the Straits. El material objeto de este estudio se recogió durante las campañas del N/O “Cariboo” en 1991 y del “Victor Hensen” en 1994 en la zona del Estrecho de Magallanes. En el segundo periodo un grupo de buzos tomó muestras también en la zona litoral. La mayor parte de los muestreos se realizaron en fondos blandos y detríticos, los verdaderos fondos duros son raros. Estos fondos están remplazados por rizoides de laminarias muertas, muy abundantes en la zona del estrecho, que constituyen una especie de micro-ambiente, apto para la instalación de esponjas y otros organismos bentónicos. De un total de más de 150 ejemplares examinados se identificaron 44 especies de demospongias. El cuadro taxonómico sugiere una comunidad heterogénea de esponjas, debida, en parte, a la variedad de las estaciones muestreadas. La comunidad se caracteriza por una distribución agregada, por una diversidad específica elevada y por una biomasa reducida. La mayor parte de las especies encontradas son de origen y distribución austral. Se confirma asi el carácter sub-antártico de la fauna de demospongias del Estrecho de Magallanes y su estrecha afinidad (14 especies en común) con la fauna antártica continental. De las especies identificadas en este estudio 20 no habían sido, hasta ahora, encontradas en el Estrecho de Magallanes. |
