Cell turnover and detritus production in marine sponges from tropical and temperate benthic ecosystems.

Detritus production Daily detritus production (mean±SD throughout) in pots containing sponges (all species combined; 12.3±10.5 mg DW) was considerably higher than controls without sponge (2.0±0.7 mg DW) and the difference was highly significant (linear mixed model, p<0.001, Fig. 5A ).
