This study investigated the effects of light, water flow and water temperature on larvae and early juveniles of 4 shallow-water Caribbean demosponges, Tedania ignis, Haliclona tubifera, Sigmadocja caerulea and Halichondria magniconulosa. Larval release was not a synchronous event, either at the individual or population level in any of these species. Parenchymella larvae were photonegative during their whole life, but their swimming speed to escape from a light source varied with species and was related to the ratio of larval body length:flagllar tuft length.
