The venomous thorn-like spines that protect this starfish are the least of our problems - this species is destroying coral reefs in many parts of the world due to an imbalance in the oceans - find out more in this video.
Despite a new, potent injectable to help divers kill record numbers of Crown of Thorns Starfish, the plague continues to eat huge swathes of the Great Barrier Reef down to white skeletons. Reporter Anja Taylor visits some QLD scientists working on creative ways of controlling their numbers, from robot starfish terminators to the terrifying smell of giant underwater snails.

Researchers at AIMS are currently investigating the mechanisms that drive Crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) outbreaks on the Great Barrier Reef and how they might be controlled. One project, part of the Australian Government's National Landcare Initiative Reef Rescue Program, is looking into the potential for natural predators to be used to control COTS numbers.
The giant triton, a large marine snail, is a known natural predator of COTS. Using its well-developed sense of smell, a giant triton is able to locate and pursue a COTS, eventually catching, killing and eating it. However, COTS also have a keen sense of smell, and can sense when a giant triton is near.

Since 1980, Australia's Great Barrier Reef has lost half its coral. The main causes are storm damage and COTS. We can’t stop the storms, but we can promote coral recovery by containing COTS.
Further research is required on causal factors and methods of control. The Australian Museum’s Lizard Island Research Station is ideally located for COTS research and has hosted significant discoveries, such as the new single-shot injection technique shown in the video above.
It is expensive to maintain first-rate marine research facilities on a remote tropical island. Visiting scientists contribute as much as they can afford, but the Station could not continue without the ongoing support of the Australian Museum and donors.

The Pacific triton (Charonia tritonis, also known as the “giant triton”) is a large marine snail that inhabits coral reefs throughout the Indo-Pacific region. They feed on echinoderms, and are particularly fond of crown-of-thorns starfish, a coral-eating starfish that occurs in outbreak proportions on the Great Barrier Reef and elsewhere. Despite the COTS sharp spines and having a highly toxic coating (saponin), tritons are highly effective COTS hunters, as shown in this video, taken at AIMS' Townsville facility.

Crown-of-thorns starfish
The crown-of-thorns sea star, Acanthaster planci, is a large, multiple-armed starfish (or seastar) that usually preys upon hard, or stony, coral polyps (Scleractinia). The crown-of-thorns sea star receives its name from venomous thorn-like spines that cover its upper surface, resembling the Biblical crown of thorns. It is one of the largest sea stars in the world.
A. planci has a very wide Indo-Pacific distribution. It is perhaps most common in Australia, but can occur at tropical and subtropical latitudes from the Red Sea and the east African coast across the Indian Ocean, and across the Pacific Ocean to the west coast of Central America. It occurs where coral reefs or hard coral communities occur in this region.
Description
The body form of the crown-of-thorns starfish is fundamentally the same as that of a typical starfish, with a central disk and radiating arms. Its special traits, however, include being disc-shaped, multiple-armed, flexible, prehensile, and heavily spined, and having a large ratio of stomach surface to body mass. Its prehensile ability arises from the two rows of numerous tube feet that extend to the tip of each arm. In being multiple-armed, it has lost the five-fold symmetry (pentamerism) typical of starfish, although it begins with this symmetry in its life cycle.

Crown of thorns
According to three of the canonical Gospels a woven crown of thorns was placed on the head of Jesus during the events leading up to the Crucifixion of Jesus. It was one of the instruments of the Passion, employed by Jesus' captors both to cause him pain and to mock his claim of authority. It is mentioned in the gospels of Matthew (27:29), Mark (15:17), and John (19:2, 5) and is often alluded to by the early Church Fathers, such as Clement of Alexandria, Origen, and others.
In later centuries, relics believed by many to be all or part of the Crown of Thorns have been venerated.
Christian symbolism
Christian writers associated thorns with the Fall of Man, following God's pronouncement to Adam that "thorns also and thistles shall [the ground] bring forth to thee" (Genesis 3:18, KJV). They have also seen a shadow of Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac, which was averted by the appearance of a ram caught "by its horns in the thicket" (Genesis 22:13, NAB) — i.e.,with thorns around its head. Like Jesus, the ram subsequently became a substitutionary sacrifice.

Electrolux Ideas Lab - Crown of Thorns Starfish Fertilizer
SUMMARY: To encourage home cooks to grow their own food, we have discovered an eco-friendly fertilizer that doubles plant yield and minimizes pest resistance, while creating a livelihood program for Asia-Pacific fisherfolk. This fertilizer is made from harvested Crown of Thorns Starfish, a dangerous pest that feeds on the coral reefs of APAC oceans. Home cooking and food preparation isn’t just about modern city/suburban homes - some of the largest problems in home cooking come from the people who actually make the food we eat. Take the thousands of farmers across the Philippines, who farm food for themselves and the country’s, but often lack access to chemical fertilizers that can make their crop-yield resilient and competitive. Yet the answers to problems like these don’t always com...

SUMMARY: To encourage home cooks to grow their own food, we have discovered an eco-friendly fertilizer that doubles plant yield and minimizes pest resistance, while creating a livelihood program for Asia-Pacific fisherfolk. This fertilizer is made from harvested Crown of Thorns Starfish, a dangerous pest that feeds on the coral reefs of APAC oceans.
Home cooking and food preparation isn’t just about modern city/suburban homes - some of the largest problems in home cooking come from the people who actually make the food we eat. Take the thousands of farmers across the Philippines, who farm food for themselves and the country’s, but often lack access to chemical fertilizers that can make their crop-yield resilient and competitive.
Yet the answers to problems like these don’t always come from laboratories - sometimes the solution can actually come from the depths of the sea.
The Crown of Thorns Starfish (COTS) is a fast-growing species that’s notorious for wiping out the coral reefs of Asia-Pacific. The 30,000 starfish collected by Filipino fishermen per peach per season totals to a minute fraction of the hoards that feast on the reefs and lessen biodiversity. But we’ve found a way to accelerate these efforts to fight COTS outbreaks - creating a win for the consumer, a win for the fishermen, and a win for the planet.
Gokase Nature School’s studies show that harvested COTS has the potential to be used for agricultural fertilizer, that double crop yield while improving soil quality and pest resistance. Despite this, the COTS has actually never been exploited for large-scale business ventures, giving us the chance to innovatively put a venomous species to good use.
. We’re going to sell drying kits to communities that will allow them to harvest the starfish, dry it, and process it into fertilizer. They can use it themselves, or sell it to other farming communities or casual gardeners. COTS will become a new, creative material that boosts revenue growth for the organic fertilizer market, unlike chemical fertilizers that can actually harm soil fertility.
The potential commercial impact for this product is huge. Revenue will grow steadily, as we’re address the high demand for an innovative fertilizer that accelerates plant growth without ruining soil fertility. We can even gain additional income from selling COTS byproducts for other lucrative materials like cosmetic ingredients. At the same time, expenses are minimal: the abundant supply of COTS lowers the costs of the base product, and operational expenses will mainly be driven by hired laborers from coastal communities.
Ultimately, this will result in sustainable impact for ALL the producers and consumers of society. It’s a win for the home cook, who wants healthy food that doesn’t cost too much, and hopes to start growing his/her own food but thinks it’s too hard and time-consuming. It’s a win for the casual gardener, who doesn’t want to ruin his soil’s fertility with chemical fertilizers. And it’s a win for APAC coastal communities, who need additional livelihood and address disrupted biodiversity.

Armed with only scuba suits and syringes, an army of divers led by Col McKenzie, is taking on one of the biggest threats to the Great Barrier Reef - the Crown of Thorns Starfish (CoTS) - one shot at a time.
In healthy numbers Crown of Thorns Starfish are essential to the Great Barrier Reef, consuming fast growing corals allowing slower growing corals to develop. But, left unchecked, one CoTS has the potential to devour large coral outcrops.
Thanks to a new culling technique, which sees the starfish injected with bile salts from cattle, Col McKenzie and his team at AMPTO are reclaiming reef territory faster than ever before, killing more than 400,000 of the starfish since 2012.
Col says it’s not all doom and gloom as the media sometimes suggests. The Great Barrier Reef is spectacular. It’s as big as Japan and one of the few Coral Reef Systems where you can see great coral, whales, coral fish, turtles and big sharks on a daily basis.

Coral reefs are among one of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on the planet, but they are threatened by compounding natural and anthropomorphic stressors including hurricanes, overfishing, and climate change. However, in the past decade, population outbreaks of these voracious Crown of Thorns Starfish (COTS), kill more coral on Indo-Pacific reefs than any other disturbance. Since then, scientists have recorded an increasing number of outbreaks.

Seminar type: CoralCoE seminar series

Date: Thursday, 28 February 2013
Abstract: Outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns sea star (COTS), Acanthaster planci, represent one of the most significant biological disturbances on coral reefs and remain one of the principal causes of widespread decline in live coral cover in the GBR. Control of COTS outbreaks may be the most immediate and effective mechanism by which to reverse sustained declines in the abundance of live coral cover, thereby maximizing opportunities for coral reef organisms to resist and adapt to sustained and ongoing threats from climate change and other more direct anthropogenic disturbances. However, previous control measures have been costly, largely ineffective, and often involved dangerous side effects. Attempts to control outbreaks, either by collecting adult individuals or injecting individuals with toxic chemicals, are ineffective at all but very localized scales, and control of COTS through manipulation of predators, parasites or pathogens has not been fully investigated. During my seminar I will talk about three different approaches that are being explored. The first approach is focused on the identification of natural predators and parasites of COTS. Observations of actual predation on A. planci are rare and there is little direct and quantitative data to assess the role of predators in limiting the population size of A. planci. The second approach is the erradication of A. planci through injections of proteins and osmoregulators that induced rapid disease and death and are less harmful to the marine environment when compared to other chemicals used. The third approach is a transmissible disease that can be induced under certain environmental conditions and the development of taxonomy studies for the identification of natural enemies as the first step in developing an effective control method.
Biography: Jairo completed his Bachelor of Veterinary Science (Hons) at the University of Caldas. After that he did 3 GradDip in Medical imaging (Radiology, Ultrasound, CT and MRI). He then obtained his first Doctorate in Veterinary Science with emphasis in Animal Surgery and Medicine at the University of Leon (Spain) awarding a Summa Cum Laude and patented his Bone graft. Jairo worked as a professor of animal surgery, radiology and internal medicine for seven years and then made a career shift and moved to Australia and completed a PhD in Marine Biology and Microbiology at James Cook University. The primary focus of his research is the Pathogenesis of crown-of-thorns (Acanthaster planci).

Date: Thursday, 28 February 2013
Abstract: Outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns sea star (COTS), Acanthaster planci, represent one of the most significant biological disturbances on coral reefs and remain one of the principal causes of widespread decline in live coral cover in the GBR. Control of COTS outbreaks may be the most immediate and effective mechanism by which to reverse sustained declines in the abundance of live coral cover, thereby maximizing opportunities for coral reef organisms to resist and adapt to sustained and ongoing threats from climate change and other more direct anthropogenic disturbances. However, previous control measures have been costly, largely ineffective, and often involved dangerous side effects. Attempts to control outbreaks, either by collecting adult individuals or injecting individuals with toxic chemicals, are ineffective at all but very localized scales, and control of COTS through manipulation of predators, parasites or pathogens has not been fully investigated. During my seminar I will talk about three different approaches that are being explored. The first approach is focused on the identification of natural predators and parasites of COTS. Observations of actual predation on A. planci are rare and there is little direct and quantitative data to assess the role of predators in limiting the population size of A. planci. The second approach is the erradication of A. planci through injections of proteins and osmoregulators that induced rapid disease and death and are less harmful to the marine environment when compared to other chemicals used. The third approach is a transmissible disease that can be induced under certain environmental conditions and the development of taxonomy studies for the identification of natural enemies as the first step in developing an effective control method.
Biography: Jairo completed his Bachelor of Veterinary Science (Hons) at the University of Caldas. After that he did 3 GradDip in Medical imaging (Radiology, Ultrasound, CT and MRI). He then obtained his first Doctorate in Veterinary Science with emphasis in Animal Surgery and Medicine at the University of Leon (Spain) awarding a Summa Cum Laude and patented his Bone graft. Jairo worked as a professor of animal surgery, radiology and internal medicine for seven years and then made a career shift and moved to Australia and completed a PhD in Marine Biology and Microbiology at James Cook University. The primary focus of his research is the Pathogenesis of crown-of-thorns (Acanthaster planci).

Abstract: Outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci, represent one of the most significant biological disturbances on coral reefs and remain one of the principal causes of widespread decline in live coral cover in Indo-Pacific reefs. In the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), for example, predation by A. planci accounted for 42% of substantial declines in coral cover in the past 27 years. Increasing frequency and intensity of outbreak episodes have resulted in progressively slower recovery, which consequently degrades the integrity of reef ecosystems. Despite previous and ongoing efforts to control A. planci populations, outbreaks continue to occur throughout the Indo-Pacific and at many locations. In some of these locations, the effects of severe outbreaks have been far greater than combined effects of all other major disturbances, including climate-induced coral bleaching. Longterm or permanent solutions depend on filling crucial gaps in our knowledge of the biology of A. planci, particularly reproduction and early life history. The main objective of my research is to explore variations in tolerances and vulnerabilities of the early life history stages of A. planci to variable environmental conditions. I will specifically investigate the effect of different food availability, salinity, temperature, and pH conditions to establish key limitations in reproductive potential, fertilization success, larval development, and postsettlement growth. There is widespread recognition that these aspects of the biology of A. planci are fundamental in understanding the proximal causes of outbreaks.
Biography: Ciemon completed his BSc in Biology at Silliman University in the Philippines. He proceeded to work with the Coastal Conservation and Education Foundation after his undergraduate studies and was involved in several coral reef management projects throughout the Philippines. He decided to pursue his MSc in Biology degree at the University of Guam in 2006, where he studied the role of chemical cues on the feeding ecology and distribution of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) populations around Guam. After finishing his MSc, he continued to study and monitor chronic COTS outbreaks on Guam’s reefs and collaborated with JCU on developing novel techniques to control COTS populations. He is currently doing his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Morgan Pratchett, Dr. Jairo Rivera-Posada, and Dr. Alexander Kerr. His research explores environmental influences on the reproductive, larval, and postsettlement biology of COTS.

Crown Of Thorns
[Speaking:]
It's 2005
I'm 'bout to blow some heads off, man
I got so much shit 'bout to hit these dudes, man
Feast (?) classic, Juju Mob classic, y'know I mean?
My team is comin', Good Hands
[Verse 1:]
Yo, I give it to you straight, never speak fakely
Shareef T lace it, they say he's crazy
I'm only Lost Cauze when I got the .380
This is my costume, no moniker to make you eat daisies
None needed, son weeded
For some reason, on the mic I become some demon
Other emcees eat they lungs even
You think not? Come see 'em
From the stage you will run fleein'
I need more cowbell, throw in your towels
You make the crowd swell with bottles
Thrown at you, I'm the grave robber, throne snatcher
Don't matter, I attack like throat cancer
You can't rap, but you's a dope dancer
A hype man, go adjust my mic stand
I roll with ???, who love to make your life stop
You've been dismissed, go home and get your shine box
[Chorus:]
[Echo:] It's the Cauze, it's the Cauze...
[Scratch: KRS-One] Emcees act like they don't know
[Scratch: 50 Cent] I'm the underground king, and I ain't been crowned
[Scratch: Styles P] Motherfuckers hit your knees and just pray to the Lord
[Verse 2:]
No pimp cup, no gators (?)
No trucker hat, no blazer
I'm from the city that spawned Joe Frasier
Bernard Hopkins, stay the fuck out of my zone, haters
Now I'm no Messiah, I'm no savior
But when the mic's in my clutch there's no greater
It's like a vato loco with no razor
A black man's Kool Aid with no flavor
ESPN with no Raiders
Or the Lost Cauze out for sale with no takers
That movie +Tron+ with no lasers
An episode of +Oz+ with no rapers
The X Games with no skaters
You get the gist; my only exercise is sit and twist
I'm just as quick as Michael Vick
Cuz I'm getting' blitzed like a three-four defense
Won't be tackled in the Three Four Precinct
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
I'm the omen in rhyme form
You soft as nylon
I spit hot fire like Dilawn, Dilawn, Dilawn
Mind gone from buds 's big as pine cones
The Lost Cauze is a motherfucking cyclone
Get caught in my path, and I divide homes
You don't want to die, homes
I talk with my nine chrome
He's highly upset
Rush the stage with pure rage if you deny me a set
I ain't playin', dog
This is beast music, this is Reef music
Treat your face like bongos, this the beat movement
Daddy-yo the beat bruiser, leave your teeth looser
You'll be foolish to not cop that +Feast+, stupid
Cuz this a banger-banger, cock the thing and bang ya
Danger, danger, one remains in the chamber
Hot wire hanger, bash your face in
Now go fuck yourself like masturbation
The father of this bastard nation
I'm hard like chemistry and math equations
Leave your face full of holes like the mask of Jason
I'm past the waitin', getting at these bastards hatin'
I'm sicker than a faggot Hatian filling his veins with H hits
My gun plastic like some fake tits (Nigga!)
I don't make hits, I just crap classics that make you want to break shit
you fake bitch!
Bleh! Bleh! Bleh! Bleh! Bleh!
[Talking]
White Boy 1: Everybody's always talking about the legends, they talking
about Biggie and Pac (White Boy 2: Yeah, fuck those two) and Pun and Big L

The Aesops, ??? Combustion right here, are you kidding me?
[WB3:] (Old school rap is doo doo, dude, it's garbage)
He's the next big thing, listen to him
[WB3:] I need, like, beats that don't even sound like beats
[WB1:] Yeah, exactly, they should be like “ERr Err err err”
[WB3:] Who wants to dance anymore anyways?
[WB2:] It's the blacks
[WB3:] Yo, yo, rip that shit Combustion
[Combustion: Rapping]
Yo, yo, yo, yo
My rhyme style you can't even measure
Cuz I flow like Helium (WB2: Mmm) at 40 times atmospheric pressure (WB2:
Here he goes)
I'm super fluid nice, can't rap but I can almost write (WB2: Uh ha)
Can't fight but I can almost bite
Hate Bush cuz he's stealing my rights
Actually I just like to gripe (WB2: West Hartford, what!) because my skin is
white
I hate my dad, see, cuz he don't like
Paying for me to sit on my ass and smoke this pipe (WB2: Go John)
That's what I do because I'm so bored
Got this super silver haze weed that you can't afford (WB2: Connecticut!)
And I'm crazy fly like the Wright Brothers
Nerd rapper of the yo, yo, yo man like Tom and Dick's mothers
Might be ??? ugly, but I'm “Mister Lover Lover”
[Black A&R;:]
Man, that shit is corny, man. Ok?
Let me tell you somethin'
My artist Corleone Capone from Big Dog Entertainment (Barks)

[Talking: with A&R; talking shit in the background]
Young Corleone Capone a force of AKA Real Clinton, y'know'm sayin'?

I got bricks comin' out my ass, nigga, y'know'm sayin'?
