Larval transport of the introduced Northern Pacific Seastar (Asterias amurensis) in the Derwent Estuary, SE Tasmania

This study assessed the spatial and temporal (horizontal and vertical) distribution of Asterias amurensis larvae in the Derwent Estuary and adjacent Storm Bay, SE Tasmania.

Horizontal transport and development was assessed by collecting plankton samples at 2 or 4 week intervals, from July to December 2001, at 4 sites in the Derwent Estuary and 6 sites in Storm Bay.

The effects of light and salinity on vertical distribution of larvae was examined over a 24 hour tidal and diel cycle.
