abstract = {As sessile filter feeding animals sponges (Porifera) rely
on highly efficient fluid transport systems to keep energy
expenditure low. As a consequence of the high complexity of
the canal system network in leucon-type aquiferous systems
only limited data on flow velocities and transport rates are
available to date. Obtaining unaltered experimental
measurements from internal parts of the canal system is
almost impossible. Therefore data for e.g. choanocytes or
canal segments of different hierarchical levels are mainly
based on theoretical assumptions. This is mainly due to the
limited availability of morphometric and quantitative data
on canal system architecture. In our study we used the fresh
water sponge Spongilla lacustris which as a juvenile is an
ideal model system to study flow in sponge. Due to its
transparency flow velocities can be determined
experimentally inside canals near the surface and at the
osculum. The limited architectural complexity and small body
size enables the extraction of 3D canal system models from
single specimens based on SR-µCT data. Flow through the
canal system was studied using a finite element modeling
approach. In order to calibrate our model and verify the
results of our modeling approach we conducted flow velocity
measurements by particle tracking velocimetry on 10 – 14 d
old hatched specimens. In order to measure flow in canal
segments of the incurrent and excurrent canal system we used
sandwich cultures of S. lacustris. Observed flow velocities
in canal segments of different hierarchical orders within
the excurrent canal system were lower in our simulations
than predicted based on calculations from a unidirectional
strictly hierarchical model of flow for sponges. Flow
velocities ranged from ~ 0.02 mm/s to ~ 0.1 mm/s over the
entire range of canal segment sizes. Only within the osculum
the flow accelerates to a maximum outflow velocity between
0.7 mm/s to 1.1 mm/s. The slow increase in flow velocity
within the excurrent canal system differ from previous
observations in other sponges, e.g. Haliclona species which
reported much higher and faster increasing flow velocities
towards the osculum. In case of juvenile S. lacustris this
is a consequence of the aquiferous system architecture which
displays a compensating increase in available canal volume.},
