Abstract

This study deals with the sponge fauna of Porto Tricase, Strait of Otranto, Ionian Sea. The present sponge fauna was compared with that described by Pulitzer-Finali more than 40 years ago. The main results are three new findings for the Ionian Sea, a second record for the Mediterranean Sea and a likely new sponge species
