  31. <meta content="Settlement trials conducted with larvae of crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci
  32. revealed a moderate degree of substratum specificity. Highest rates of settlement and metamorphosis
  33. occurred on coral rubble and the crustose coralline alga (CCA) Lithothamnlum pseudosorum, but rates
  34. were more vanable on the coralline. Interpretation of settlement on the rubble is difficult because rubble
  35. always supported some CCA. Settlement was significantly lower on other CCA (Porolithon onkodes and
  36. Neogoniolithon foslei), non-calcareous crustose red algae (Peyssonellia sp.), and fouled ceramic tdes.
  37. These results were consistent irrespective of whether larvae were offered a choice of substrata or not.
  38. When larvae were separated from L. pseudosorum by mesh, settlement was highly variable but
  39. sometimes occurred at high rates, suggesting that contact with the algae is not obligatory for induction.
  40. Larvae were not induced to settle by GABA (y-amino butyric acid), elevated K+ concentrations, or coral
  41. blocks fouled for 9 d, and settlement rates were virtually zero in controls without a known added
  42. inducer. Treatment of highly inductive shards of L. pseudosorum with antibiotics reduced their
  43. Inductive activlty to low levels, suggeslng that induction of settlement and metamorphosis of A. planci
  44. by L. pseudosorum may be mediated by epiphytic bacteria. Other results were consistent with the
  45. notion of bacteria-mediated induction. The inductive ability of different regions on individual L.
  46. pseudosorum plants varied greatly, as did densities of bacteria on the plant surface. Larvae always
  47. settled on sections of thallus having high densities of bacteria, but never on adjacent areas where
  48. epiphytic bacteria were sparse. The inductive stimulus is likely to be chemical since it was inactivated
  49. by boiling or autoclaving, and may be a relatively large molecule since it was not detected in water,
  50. ethanol or chloroform extracts of lnductlve algae or coral rubble, and was retained by dialysis tubing of
  51. pore size 10000 Daltons. The spatlal distribution of coral rubble and L. pseudosorum on and around
  52. GBR midshelf reefs, the location of hydrodynamic retention cells around reefs, and the pattern of
  53. outbreaks on the GBR, suggest that mass settlements of A. planci are more likely to occur in deep than
  54. in shallow water. This would explain the paradox that outbreaks of A. planci on the GBR are not
  55. heralded by increases in abundances of juveniles in shallow water, but are first observed as adult
  56. starfish ascending from deepwater Prehminary deep water videotransects off Davies Reef showed that
  57. rubble and CCA were abundant m deep water (30 to 65 m) adjacent to the area where aggregations of
  58. adult starfish were first seen moving up from deep water, but the substratum in deep water off other
  59. sections of the reef was sand." name="eprints.abstract" />

  334. revealed a moderate degree of substratum specificity. Highest rates of settlement and metamorphosis
  335. occurred on coral rubble and the crustose coralline alga (CCA) Lithothamnlum pseudosorum, but rates
  336. were more vanable on the coralline. Interpretation of settlement on the rubble is difficult because rubble
  337. always supported some CCA. Settlement was significantly lower on other CCA (Porolithon onkodes and
  338. Neogoniolithon foslei), non-calcareous crustose red algae (Peyssonellia sp.), and fouled ceramic tdes.
  339. These results were consistent irrespective of whether larvae were offered a choice of substrata or not.
  340. When larvae were separated from L. pseudosorum by mesh, settlement was highly variable but
  341. sometimes occurred at high rates, suggesting that contact with the algae is not obligatory for induction.
  342. Larvae were not induced to settle by GABA (y-amino butyric acid), elevated K+ concentrations, or coral
  343. blocks fouled for 9 d, and settlement rates were virtually zero in controls without a known added
  344. inducer. Treatment of highly inductive shards of L. pseudosorum with antibiotics reduced their
  345. Inductive activlty to low levels, suggeslng that induction of settlement and metamorphosis of A. planci
  346. by L. pseudosorum may be mediated by epiphytic bacteria. Other results were consistent with the
  347. notion of bacteria-mediated induction. The inductive ability of different regions on individual L.
  348. pseudosorum plants varied greatly, as did densities of bacteria on the plant surface. Larvae always
  349. settled on sections of thallus having high densities of bacteria, but never on adjacent areas where
  350. epiphytic bacteria were sparse. The inductive stimulus is likely to be chemical since it was inactivated

  356. in shallow water. This would explain the paradox that outbreaks of A. planci on the GBR are not
