Plakortis bergquistae is a species of marine sponge in the order Homosclerophorida, first described in 2011 by Guilherme Muricy. [1] [2] The species epithet, bergquistae, honours Patricia Bergquist.
The holotype was collected near Bitung, North Sulawesi, Sulawesi Sea. [1] In Australia it is found in the IMCRA region "Northwest Shelf Transition". [1]
Sulawesi, also known as Celebes, is one of the four Greater Sunda Islands. It is governed by Indonesia. The world's eleventh-largest island, it is situated east of Borneo, west of the Maluku Islands, and south of Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago. Within Indonesia, only Sumatra, Borneo, and Papua are larger in territory, and only Java and Sumatra have larger populations.
