Limski kanal is an 11 km long fjord-like bay located in the Istrian peninsula (Croatia, Northern Adriatic Sea), which lies along an E-W axis so that the two sides face north and south. The sponge fauna of the channel has been investigated at twelve locations, six for each side at different depth levels. A total of 42 species have been recorded, 5 of them have never been reported for this area before. Only few species have been found in all locations and distributional trends have been observed. Substrate, light exposition and the high sedimentation affect the sponge distribution along the channel.
