Khoyatan Marine Laboratory houses a moderately large
collection of NE Pacific Sponges which have been worked
on by Bill Austin and Bruce Ott. A list of 260 species
from central California to southern Alaska is recorded
by Austin (1985). Austin and Ott provided a key to 130
species known from British Columbia and Washington (Kozloff,
1987).
This annotated list of
approximately 290 species is an update of the 1985 list
noted above. The 142 highlighted species names include
photos of specimens and 90 species names flagged by SEM
have scanning electromicrographs of skeletal spicules.
These can serve as a pictorial supplement to existing
descriptions and keys. The list includes some
undescribed species (unnamed) but is not intended as a
medium for formal species descriptions. Scanning
electron micrographs were taken by Bill Austin at Simon
Fraser University and at the University of Victoria,
while underwater
photographs were largely taken by Neil McDaniel
(McDaniel Photography, Vancouver, BC).
Curt
Smecher has produced a list of BC sponges with a
synopsis of systematic characters and distribution www.interchg.ubc.ca/csmecher
on his web site. Welton Lee, David Elvin
and Henry Reiswig
have produced a major guide to the sponges of
California. We hope that, ultimately, a revised list
will incorporate the work of all spongologists along the
NE Pacific coast. Please note that the list at this
time is a draft copy subject to updates and corrections.
