The sky-defying species in the ocean-starfish, es↓→pecially the crown-of-thorns starfish, ☆γδφis a nightmare for corals. The starfis$ε≥h will climb on the coral, spit oλδut its stomach and cover t<∏®↑he surface of the coral, and then digest t≤ε♦he coral polyps, leaving only the white coral✘₹>≤ skeleton , and then escaped, and the baby✘§γ∏ polyp with no abdominal musα"cles could only obedie★™ntly become the prey.
What's more terrifying is that ÷<∑sea stars have super reproductive abilit♥★₹y, a female starfish can producε♦→↔e hundreds of thousands of eggs a year; sea star&↕≈★s also have special regeneration abili£γ≤ty, any part of it can regenerat↔→e a new starfish.
The unbeatable starfish is th≥±¥e top foodie who is not picky eat ↕♥εer! The baby starfish eats cor≥'©als, shellfish, and sea cucumbe∏✘rs constantly from birth. You ca←Ωn't imagine how much food a starfish will eatφ•® in its lifetime.
Paracels in the South Chinaε$ Sea, Australia's Great Barrie' ←r Reef, and corals all over ÷σthe world are being threatened by starfish, amo¶γ ±ng which crown of thorns star≥↕fish may damage corals beyond the impact ™γof human activities.
If not controlled, the coral will→↔® be eaten up by this heaven-defying specie∞$"s! Overseas scientists have trie§≥d many ways to control the gr♥£↔<owth of starfish:
(1) Salvage starfish one by one, but the efficiγλ ency is extremely low;
(2) Injecting chemical agents int©¥o the starfish body is highly efficient but canπ★↓not predict the long-term risk of ≥ •the agent to the ocean;
(3) The starfish is used to subd&$ue the starfish, the ₹♦ εnatural enemy of the →δ♦♠sea star, but the wild big la> w snails are becoming more and moreβ≈ rare, and it is difficult to breed th↑↓ em in batches.
But, you know what? Lobster also eat starfisΩ ≈h!
The latest discovery by Hainan South Chin•α"a Sea Institute of Tr∑✔β opical Oceanography: lob∞<≠sters eat starfish, and © ±≤lobsters do not eat coral! In addition, £γδ↑through the investigation of seaside fishermen, σ₹it was found that because the starfΩ✔ish cannot be eaten, the fish÷₩ermen often feed the lob★§≠ster with the starfish they catch.
Large lobster is delicious and nutritiou¥€★s, and it is a favorite " food of people all over the world. But wild¥€ lobsters on the seafloor ✘πhave plummeted due to overfishing. The cultiva€¶tion technology of large lobsters is mε→πore mature than that of big snails. If some cu∑✘γ"ltured large lobster ☆ s are put in the sea star flooded sea, can the gr&'₩owth of starfish be unilaterally inhibited? But t¶ ≤€he impact this will ∏σhave on the ecosystems surrounγ≤™ding coral reefs is unknown.
Inhibit the wanton growth of starf$♦☆×ish and keep the beautiful coral! I b•<elieve that lobster ea∑★β€ting starfish can giveσ☆ us more inspiration!
