Table 1 Number of modules, (nmodules), sponge volume (Vsp), module volume (Vmodule), spherical diameter (d) and dry-weight (DW) of several H. panicea sponges (ID1-13) used in oxygen drawdown experiments to determine their half-saturation constant (Km) and their maximum dry weight-specific respiration (Rmax). Mean and 95% confidence intervals (CI95%) are shown
