摘要

Global demand for bath sponges for cosmetic, bathroom and industrial use, far exceeds supply. Commercial bath sponges, species from the order Dictyoceratida that have a high quality spongin skeleton, have traditionally been harvested from natural populations in the Mediterranean Sea and around Florida, USA. Overharvesting and periodic disease outbreaks have decimated these natural populations and severely limited the yield of bath sponges. Because current harvest levels from natural populations cannot meet demand, there is an opportunity to develop alternative supply methods. In-sea aquaculture is one option that could supply sufficient and sustainable quantities of bath sponges to meet the market shortfall. Studies from Australia, New Zealand, Micronesia and the Mediterranean Sea have shown that sponges can be experimentally farmed using simple methods and cheap equipment, thus suggesting that bath sponge farming could be a cost efficient commercial industry. In addition, bath sponges can be processed or cleaned for sale using simple techniques, are non-perishable, need minimal storage requirements and can be transported easily. These factors suggest that bath sponge farming maybe an appropriate industry for development in remote coastal indigenous communities in Australia.
