Geodia barretti is a massive deep-sea sponge species found in the boreal waters of the North Atlantic Ocean,[1] and is fairly common on the coasts of Norway and Sweden. It is a dominant species in boreal sponge grounds.[2][3] Supported by morphology and molecular data, this species is classified in the family Geodiidae.[4]
