Abstract
|
The Acnthaster phenomenon is one of the most serious
management issues in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) has experienced two series
of outbreaks of the crown of thorns starfish in the past 25
years. In 1985 the Crown of Thorns Starfish Advisory
Committee (COTSAC) recommended. infer nlin. that a
coordinated research program he conducted over a 4-5 year
period at a cost of $A3 million. A total of sA2.5 million
has been granted by the Australian Govelnment for this
research since late 1985. Substantial support also has been
given by a number of other agencies. These funcls have
been allocated to some 58 projects involving 70 scientists
from 23 Australian and overseas research institutions.
Ecological and management-relaletl prolects are being
coordinalecl by the Australian lnstilule of Marine Science
(AIMS) andeby the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park
Authority (GBRMPA). respectively. The Crown of Thorns
Starfish Advisory Review Committee (COTSARC). was
established to review the developnlent of the program and
the progress of research. The research program already has
substantially increased understanding of the phenomenon:
major achievements are broadly outlined. Because of the
complexity of the Acn~ifllnster phenomenon and the need to
build on the data now accumulated. a longer-term.
coordinated research program is now proposed.

Abstract
|
Recent investigations of the processes of
bioerosion on the Great Barrier Reef have
provided new perspectives on the role of
bioerosion within reef environments.
Experiments, using dead coral substrates
introduced into different environments, have
found that rates of substrate destruction by
grazers and borers vary between reefs at
different stages of growth at sea level. The
distribution of parrotfish within and between
reefs is fundamental in controlling rates of
bioerosion. Up to 9.11 kg/m2/year o.f carbonate
erosion has been recorded in the experiments.
Rapid rates of grazing destruction occur in
subtidal environments on immature reefs, while
reduced grazing and high encrustation rates on
mature reefs maintain dead coral substrates. The
age of a substrate is important in the
development of borer communities. Mature
environments are subjected to greater borer
excavation as a result of substrate preservation
by reduced grazing and increased encrustation.
The preservation of dead coral substrates by
encrustation and their excavation by borers in
mature environments of shallow water will alter
rather than destroy reef frameworks. This
interaction of bioerosion and accretion will be
an important consideration in reconstructions of
ancient reef environments.

Annual t o t a l nitrogen and carbon budgets were

Inorganic nutrient uptake by t h e zooxanthellae
provided only 30% of the t o t a l N requirements
(organic growth + gametes + l o s s e s ) and t h e
balance of 70% was assumed t o come from p a r t i c -

from p a r t i c u l a t e sources had an estimated C:N

only 9% of the t o t a l C requirement ( a s f o r N

carbon and (mainly) nitrogen i s required from

Abstract
|
Tahitian mantis shrimps, locally known as varo,
are lysiosquillid stomatopods that excavate
extensive burrows within sand flats throughout the
lagoons around Moorea. Lysiosquilla are large,
sit-and-wait predators that lunge out and capture
prey from.the mouths of their burrows. Surveys
around the island show that burrows tend to be
clumped in dense aggregations, most aptly
described as colonies. Although colonies cover
wide areas, large distances exist between colonies
and mantis shrimps are completely absent from some
sand flats. These dense, but patchy aggregations
of predators appear to have a significant effect
on the movement or local abundances of fishes that
forage over the sands. Any limitation placed on
the foraging activities of these fishes by mantis
shrimps may have broad consequences for
macro-invertebrate communities within the sand
flats.

Abstract
|
Field investi ations conducted on a St. Croix (U.S. Virgin
Islands) redhave yielded new data on the temporal and
s atial variability of wave/current-driven processes in
sfallow forereef to backreef environments. Surface waves
and currents were measured with an array of gaee-pressure
transducers and small ducted current meters. Highly sensi-
tive pressure-driven tide gages measured Ion term changes
in water level. Sixteen shallow wells (0.5-2fm) drilled on
a transect across the reef provided samples for evaluating
hydraulic response to external wave forcing and geochem-
ist of reef pore water. Under low-input wave conditions
( d m heights). strong lagoonward surge currents (>60
cm/s) are created by waves breaking at the crest. Energy
loss associated with wave breakin is -90% at low tide and
-70% at high tide. Sea-surface sfope between the forereef
and lagoon, as modulated by long infra ravity waves,
lar ely controls net flow across the reef. jydraulic head
differences in shallow ore waters are forced by waves
(wind waves to tides). &igh permeabilities are reflected in
rapid pore-water responses to high-frequency waves. Con-
centration of oscillato~y waves of varlous periods on the
forereef and reef crest promotes a dominant vertical ex-
changeof ore water. Transport of dissolved reactants en-
hances cartonate cementation and the biochemical trans-
formation of shallow oxic pore-water environments into
deeper anoxic environments.

Abstract
|
The aerobic/facultatively anaerobic bacterial
flora of the gastrointestinal tract of four tropi-
cal marine fishes, representing differing nutri-
tional habits, was investigated. Populations of
marine bacteria in the coral trout (Plectropomus
leopardus), a carnivore, were variable and not
clearly related to the presence of food in the
intestinal tract. For the planktivore Caesio
erythrogaster, and the detritivore (Ctenochaetus
striatus), up to 108 bacteria were detected per
gram of gastrointestinal contents, and the popula-
tion size remained relatively constant throughout
the intestinal length. Vibrio species, particu-
larly V. harveyi and V. damsela, dominated the
microbial populations in all of the above fish.
The intestinal microflora of the herbivore Acan-
thurus nigrofuscus was markedly different from the
other fish examined. Stomach contents were devoid
of culturable bacteria and the intestinal tract
was dominated (in some cases up to 100%) by agar
digesting non-Vibrio bacteria. These results are
discussed in relation to the possible role of
marine bacteria in digestive and nutritional
processes in tropical marine fishes.

Abstract
|
The amount of N functionally available to scleractinian reef
corals via the water, feeding and zooxanthellar uanslocate is
believed to be low. Corals with zooxanthellae supposedly
receive from their symbionts a large amount of-C-rich
compounds (lipids, carbohydrates) relative to N-rich
compounds (amino acids, nucleic acids). Hence,
zooxanthellate reef corals may have a diet lower in % N than
non-zooxanthellate corals. Coral species with a high C:N ratio
diet may have evolved mechanisms for compensation, such as
reduced rates of amino acid catabolism. Five species of
Atlantic scleractinian coral (three tropical zooxanthellate
species Montastrea annularis (MA), Acropora cervicornis
(AC), and Porites porites (PP), one tropical non-
zooxanthellate species, Tubastrea coccinea (TC), and one
temperate facultatively zooxanthellate species, Asfrangia danae
(AD)) were chosen for a study of uptake, retention and
assimilation of three radiolabeled amino acids (glutamic acid,
lysine and valine). After 24 to 48 hours, the three species with
expected low N diets (MA, AC and PP) lost 50% or less of
the radiolabel, while those species with expected high N diets
(TC and AD) lost up to 78%; these differences were
statistically significant at the p 2 0.01 level. The assimilation
of radiolabeled amino acids into protein also varied between
the erou~s: MA. AC and PP incornorated 37-76% into protein ~" ~. while AD incorporated 16-34%. Yhese differences wek also
statisticallv significant. Amino acid assimilation into protein
by TC va;edvwith the amino acid: 24-41% of the giutamic
acid, 51-58% of the lysine and 67-80% of the valine were
incorporated into protein. These results are in agreement with
the hypothesis that zooxanthellate reef corals, that receive large
amounts of energy-rich compounds from their symbionts,
have reduced rates of amino acid catabolism compared to
predatory non-zooxanthellate coral species. The results also
show that among predatory corals, a species with a more
limited diet (TC) is more efficient at assimilating amino acids
than a species with an abundant food source (AD).

Abstract
|
Ciguatera is prevalent in Australia. A database
consisting of 617 cases of ciguatera collected
over 23 years was analysed in an attempt to more
precisely define the ciguatera syndrome in
Australia. Nine of the 27 signs and symptoms
occurred more often for consumers of toxic
mackerel than for consumers of other toxic
species. Persons living south of Gladstone were
more likely to consume toxic mackerel species
while non-mackerel species caused the majority of
poisonings north of Gladstone. The time to onset
of symptoms ranged from < 1 hr to > 70 hr with a
mean of 6.4 hr. Neither age nor gender
influenced the time to onset of symptoms. Persons
living north of Gladstone had a significantly
longer time to the onset of symptoms than persons
south of Gladstone. Both the symptom profile and
time to onset of symptoms support the conclusion
that mackerel are on average more toxic than non-
mackerel species, although the presence of
different toxins in mackerel and non-mackerel
species cannot be excluded as a possibility at
this stage.

Abstract

Two methods are evaluated for the grouncl truthing o f
remotely sensed coral reef data. Using John Brewer reef as
a test site Landsat MSS and SPOT XS images were ground
truthed using manta tow and line transect methods. sites
were positioned by a surveyor allowing for the accurate
location o f the sites troth on the reef and within the image
data. The results showed poor agreement between the
visual estimates o f benthic cover made by the manta tow
method and the more quantitative measurements made by
the line transect. A comparison o f the Landsat MSS and
the SPOT XS data showed that SPOT XS data gave the
highest correlation to the grouncl data. Because SPOT XS
and Landsat MSS have similar spectral resolution. this
difference may reflect the higher information content o f the
SPOT XS data with its increased spatial resolution.

Abstract
|
Attempts to control the corallivore Acanthaster
planci are reviewed and the costhenefits of trials
undertaken by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park
Authority (GBRMPA) are evaluated. Macroscale
controls in Japan, Micronesia, Samoa and elsewhere
in the Pacific have had limited success. On the GBR,
attempts to preserve small areas of reef for
coral-viewing a t Green Island during both episodes
of outbreaks were unsuccessful. At Beaver and John
Brewer Reefs about half the coral in 2-4ha areas was
saved by volunteers and tourist operators i n
sustained programs over 3-4 years. At Cormorant
Pass a small, isolated aggregation was successfully
eradicated by GBRMPA. About 12,200 starfish were
injected in trial controls by GBRMPA. Military
divers were provided a t no charge but support costs
were high. Financial (direct) costs to GBRMPA for
each starfish injected ranged from A$0.50-7.00;
economic costs (total costs, but excluding volunteers'
time) were A$6.16-17.21 per starfish injected. The
trial controls had minimal effects, largely because of
migration into cleared areas. A barrier fence was
subsequently developed to reduce this. Dispersal of
quicklime for mass eradication of starfish was found
to have limited potential. I t is concluded that small
isolated outbreaks may be successfully eradicated
and limited areas (several ha) of coral may be
preserved during a major outbreak by a prolonged
program of hand control, but control a t the
macroscale is not feasible.

Abstract
|
The answer to my question is simple and can be given i n
three short Anglo-Saxon worcls. It is, 'Yes and no'. The
first part of this answer is true, but trivial because no
interesting science proceeds from it. The last par1 is also
true, and, although subtle and winding, its path leads over
scientifically interesting terrain. The conjunction reminds
one that science exists as contradiction and paradox because
nature herself is contradictory ancl paradoxical.' I t also
reminds that the goal of science is to replace today's
paradox with tomorrow's, and in the process gain
understanding. In this, science is like Picasso's art: 'the lie
that helps us to see the truth' (Fagerstrom 1987).
In this essay, I explore this answer - these three words. I
show where they lead: the 'yes' to the dead-end of
prediction, the 'and' to paradox, the 'no' to explanation,
and the phrase to understanding. That is, I show that each
part of the answer is, in itself, insufficient. and that
understanding only comes through a consideration of these
parts in the context of the whole phrase. This establishes
that the question itself is ill-posecl. I then argue that this is
an inescapable consequence of the flawed view of coral reef
ecosystems that generated i t - the Cartesian reductionist
view.
And this allows me to conclude. happily, that much
interesting science awaits an alternative analysis - a
dialectical analysis - of coral reef ecosystems, even if.
unhappily, the inherent recidivisni of the reductionists will
prevent them taking much part in the adventure.

Abstract

Fishing with the use of explosives i s a common
cause .of destruction of Philippine r e e f s . To
simulate the severe e f f e c t s of blasting, a 42 m2
area on a reef f l a t i n the northern Philippines was
mechanically cleared of a l l macrobenthos. Aspects
of a l g a l and invertebrate recruitment within a
27-month period following the disturbance were
monitored and compared with r e s u l t s of observations
of a control s t a t i o n on the same reef zone.
Succession patterns f o r fleshy algae and s e s s i l e
invertebrates, accompanied by r e l a t i v e l y high
sediment cover, were similar a t both disturbed and
control s i t e s . Coralline algae, on the other hand,
were significant i n the damaged area and not i n the
control, indicating t h a t they may play a key r o l e
i n subsequent coral recruitment. Settlement of
corals was observed much e a r l i e r a t the stressed
s i t e , occurring sporadically a t f i r s t and then more
rapidly. Midway through the monitoring period,
gains i n terms of new colonies were o f f s e t by
losses. No s i g n i f i c a n t n e t increase i n terms of
coral cover was observed 4 1/2 years a f t e r the
disturbance, suggesting t h a t the physical s t r e s s
caused by i n s t a b i l i t y and scouring associated with
loose rubble and sediment hindered reef recovery.
Such a s i t u a t i o n i s c h a r a c t e r i s t i c of reefs damaged
by blasting.
