Coral reefs destroyed by Crown of Thorns Starfish outbreaks To download mini-video, go to http://news.prd.go.th/news_detail.php?newsid=216417 Special Report for Andaman News TV11 (VHF dial) at 8.30am & local Cable TV channel 1 + maybe FM90.5 Radio Thailand 6pm, broadcast to Phang Nga, Krabi & Phuket provinces, & possibly FM108 Mazz Radio 7.30pm in Phuket, Wednesday 5 March 2008 & http://news.prd.go.th Niphon Phongsuwan, Coral reef biologist at the Phuket Marine Biological Center or PMBC, recently told us about the current problem for coral reefs being destroyed by several Crown of Thorns Starfish outbreaks in various locations near Phuket. Back in 1984, The PMBC surveyed crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks in the reefs on several islands in the Andaman Sea. Serious outbreaks were found on some, while others did not show outbreaks, however there was a presence of dead coral which was suspected to have been caused by crown-of-thorns starfish. In early 2007, an outbreak was found in a small cove, south of Ba-ngu Island (the northernmost island of the Similian group). The reef had been hugely degraded within a few months as a result. The staff of PMBC and Similian National Park removed 65 in an area of about 150 x 50 metres in March 2007. At the present time, outbreaks are still found in some areas. At Racha Yai Island, south of Phuket, recent outbreaks were found at some spots on the east coast of the island, and this year near Ko Aeo, south east of Phuket. The crown-of-thorns starfish is a natural part of the reef ecosystem, and if the population levels are balanced, it is beneficial to the environment. These starfish choose to eat fast growing coral species, particularly staghorn coral. Fast growing coral species can cover areas very quickly, and compete for space with slow growing species. The crown-of-thorns starfish helps to maintain a balance, and allows space for the slowing growing species, therefore creating higher levels of diversity. Currently, high levels of fertilizer are used in agriculture, and are subsequently being flushed to the sea. This fertilizer provides food for phytoplankton, and when phytoplankton blooms it causes zooplankton to bloom as well. The larvae of the crown-of-thorns starfish begins as zooplankton, so the presence of fertilizer causes the crown-of-thorns starfish to proliferate. Another cause of the abundance of these starfish is a lack of predators such as the rare Triton shells, or triggerfish, due to illegal fishing and sales of shells. Khun Nipon also wants to tell people not to feed fish with bread as the fish then do not eat naturally, including the larvae of crown of thorn starfish. Many divers have asked him how many crown-of-thorns starfish in a certain area define it as an outbreak. Scientists approximate if there are greater than 10 individuals in one hectare, that area is considered to have an outbreak. If there are greater than 30 individuals in one hectare, the outbreak is at a very serious level. If any divers find an outbreak case, it is acceptable to kill or remove the starfish to help preserve the affected reefs. However, if the outbreak area is within a National Park, a permit must be obtained before anything can be removed. There are several methods which can be used to limit the number of crown-of-thorns starfish. You can use a knife to cut the central part of the starfish body, but should take care not to merely cut it in half, as the two halves can regenerate. Another option is to collect the starfish and bring them on shore to dry out. -------------- You may also call khun Nipon at the PMBC for more information at Tel : 076 391128 Fax : 0 76 391127 Email : info@greenfins-thailand.org Views: 1806 Rating: (4 ratings)

DIVER DAN - ep2 - RARE KIDS TV CLASSIC - 1960 Diver Dan was a series of 104 seven-minute live-action shorts made for children's television. Made by Brian Cartoons, it was syndicated (mainly to NBC affiliates) and distributed by ITC Entertainment. The shows were sometimes re-edited into half-hour (including commercials) blocks by local stations. The series featured the adventures of a diver in an old-fashioned diving suit who talked to the passing fish. The series was filmed in live action with puppet fish; the underwater effect was achieved by shooting through an aquarium. Diver Dan debuted in 1960, the brainchild of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania cartoonist J. Anthony (John) Ferlaine, as a spinoff of his comic strip, Fish Tales. Ferlaine, who worked as an art director at Philadelphia's CBS affiliate WCAU-TV, produced two Fish Tales live-action marionette pilots. When CBS did not pick up the show, Ferlaine and promoter Martin Young partnered with Philadelphia producer Louis W. Kellman, who with his staff produced local TV spots and film shorts, and filmed NFL football games. They produced the shorts over nine months, and syndicated them. In New York City, Diver Dan shorts ran as part of Felix & Diver Dan, a 30-minute children's show airing from January 4, 1960, to August 31, 1962, and which also included Felix the Cat. The characters included Diver Dan and Miss Minerva, the Captain (heard but not seen), and a puppet cast including the villainous Baron Barracuda, his henchman Trigger (a trigger fish), Finley Haddock, Doc Sturgeon, Georgie Porgy, Gabby the Clam, Gill Espy, Glow Fish, Goldie the Goldfish (who spoke only in peeps and squeaks), Hermit Crab, Sam the Sawfish, Scout Fish, Sea Biscuit the Seahorse and Skipper Kipper. One of the running gags in the series was for Trigger to refer to the Baron as "Boss", at which the Baron would get angry and say some variation of, "Call me Baron, you idiot!" — to which Trigger would reply, "Okay, Baron, you idiot". Baron Barracuda wore a monocle in one eye, and spoke in a vaguely European accent. Trigger always had an apparently unlit cigarette jutting from the side of his mouth. The series was not immune to ethnic stereotypes: One of the undersea characters was Scallop Fish (apparently a pun on "scalp"), who carried a tomahawk and always spoke in pidgin-Indian dialect. He occasionally used his tomahawk to extricate Diver Dan from seaweed (in the Sargasso Sea), fishing nets, or some nefarious trap. * Allen Swift as the voices of the many puppets, the unseen Captain, and the narrator * Frank Freda as Diver Dan * Suzanne Turner as Miss Minerva, the beautiful mermaid queen, who referred to Diver Dan only as "The Diver" and shyly kept away from his sight.
