Spawning pheromone in crown-of-thorns starfish

Nature, 1975
LARGE aggregations of the crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci L have destroyed a high proportion of the coral on certain Indo-Pacific reefs. We report that gamete release by one A. planci induces other ripe starfish to spawn; similar behaviour has been observed in certain other echinoderms1,2.

Crown-of-thorns starfish management conundrums

Coral Reefs, 1992
Since the early 1960s, debate over managements of the phenomenom of large populations of the coral eating crown-of-throns starfish has presented a major ecological conundrum: Is it normal, human-induced or human-increased? Whilst that is unresolved there is a second conundrum for the reef manager: Should there be systematic controls?

Simulation of coral reefs and crown‐of‐thorns starfish

Environmetrics, 1993
AbstractCoral reefs are subject to attack and predation by the starfish Acanthaster planci or crown‐of‐thorns. This paper describes a simulation model of the natural processes of a coral reef and its reaction to, and recovery from starfish attacks. The modelling of a reef section is based on a pixel representation of the area.
