title: [Morphological, optical, and structural characteristics of glass sponge spicules and the photoreceptor hypothesis of their survival].
abstract: The morphology, structure, and optical characteristics of spicules of some sea glass sponges have been studied. The results obtained are interpreted from the point of view of their possible role in the survival of the organism of sponges.
