Long-term experimental <i>in situ</i> farming of <i>Crambe crambe</i> (Demospongiae: Poecilosclerida)

Abstract

The data on the behaviour and life-style of cultured fragments, together with an increase >2,400% in cover area, demonstrate that <i>in situ</i> aquaculture is a viable and sustainable method for the shallow-water biomass supply of <i>Crambe crambe</i>.
