You don't have any anti-spam stuff happening on your registration page, as far as I can tell.

Try this simple anti-spambot mod:

It's very easy to install in its basic form and can be very effective in stopping the kind of bots that seem to be bothering you.

You need an anti spam system to sort that out. I personally think that by using module like require user to answer a series of question is the best compare to traditional number graphical verification. I had a forum that bombard by madness spam but after implementing question type of spam prevention tool, all spam just stop.
