Recommended Posts

Over collection of Giant Triton (Charonia tritonis) which is highly prized by shell collectors, overfishing of Humphead Wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus), a highly priced delicacy, and algae blooms from agricultural runoff may have much to contribute to the population explosion of the Crown-of-thorns Star. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown-of-thorns_starfish
