Changes in Structure of Coral Reef Fish Communities by Destruction of Hermatypic Corals: Observational and Experimental Views

Sano, Mitsuhiko; Shimizu, Makoto; Nose, Yukio (University of Hawai'i Press, 1984-01)

Population outbursts of the crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci, have drastically altered communities in many coral reef areas of the Indo-west Pacific since the late 1960s. To understand the pattern of changes in ...
