Scientists apply new technologies to protect coral reefs
A research team in Australia said that they have found an effective way to kill the crown spines that are destroying coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.
Studies at the Coral Reef Research Centre at James Cook University in Queensland, Australia have shown that over the past 27 years, reef coverage in the Great Barrier Reef has disappeared by more than half, and 82% of it is associated with the explosion of toxic and spiny starfish. Swallow the corals.
Australian researchers said that a method has been invented to make such starfish infected with a bacterium that can kill them within 24 hours. And this bacteria can spread to close or contact with other species like the carrier starfish.
Next they will begin testing to see if this approach is safe for marine life, especially fish. The center professor Plantch said: "When studying a biological control method, you must be very careful to limit the target to the species you need to ensure that it does not harm other species or the environment."
If the new method is determined to be safe, it is only necessary to poke every starfish to send the bacteria to the starfish. Once a diver launches water, he can kill as many as 500 starfish.
