  • Acanthaster Planci (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) on the Great Barrier Reef
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published January 10 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. Influence of hydrodynamics on the passive dispersal and initial recruitment of larvae of Acanthaster planci (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) on the Great Barrier Reef ' Victorian Institute of Marine Sciences, 14 Parliament Place, Melbourne, 3002 Australia Australian Institute of Marine Science, PMB 3, Townsville MC, 4810 Australia ABSTRACT: Numerical hydrodynamic and particle dispersion simulations showed that neutrally buoyant larvae are subject to a complex circulation pattern which induces a spatial variability in their relative numbers. The interaction of tidal, wind and gradient-driven flows with the reef were found to cause some areas within individual reefs to retain higher numbers of larvae than others. These locations were compared with diver observations of the abundance of Acanthasterplanci (L.) at the beginnings of outbreaks and a clear correspondence was found in all 6 simulated cases. Results suggest that hydro- dynamics have a major influence on not only the dispersal of larvae of A. planci but also perhaps the location of their initial recruitment. Surveillance of these locations may provide an 'early warning' strategy for monitoring and controlling future outbreaks of this starfish on reefs. INTRODUCTION dispersal at the scale of the reef and its surrounds. There had been no experiments, apart from some The crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci (L.) short-term localised measurements (Ludington 1981, forms large aggregations which can lead to the des- Andrews et al. 1984), which measured the long-term, truction of extensive areas of hard coral.
