- Abstract
ICP-MS analyses of encrusting sponges indicate that their predominant chemical elements are, along with Si, by P, Al, Fe, Ca, S, Mg, K, Na, Cu, Mn, Zn, Ti, Ba, and Br. The sponges are most significantly enriched in Al > Cu > Ti > REE > Mn > P relative to their aqueous habitat and in Cu > I > Cd > P > Br > As ≥ S relative to the relatively rudaceous bottom sediments. One of the sources of elements occurring the aqueous habitat and being of vital importance for the activity of the sponges was proved to be the rock substrates.
