Перевод: starfish
[существительное] морская звезда
Тезаурус:
- There were huge crabs everywhere, starfish with thick meaty arms, forests of kelp - tall enough to swim through, plaice and gurnards.
- The mosaic of calcite plates is a particular feature of the phylum, and serves as one of the characters linking together such dissimilar-looking animals as starfish and sea lilies.
- A starfish can regrow all its arms if necessary even if the mutilation is severe.
- Australian conservationists these past few decades have been worried and at times appalled by the destruction of the Great Barrier Reef by crown of thorns starfish.
- STARFISH - CLASS STELLEROIDEA (Colour plates 30, 32)
- Tony Underwood also suggests that the crown of thorn starfish may even do good.
- The crown of thorns starfish.
- This starfish has a broad central disc, and slender arms.
- The original calcite of the starfish is stained slightly yellow on the surface.
- It has been suggested, too, that pollution by nutrient is responsible for the outbreak of crown of thorns starfish, which have devastated large areas of Australia's Great Barrier Reef (see overleaf).
- Although they are common today starfish are not generally common fossils, but as so often with echinoderms, they seem to be local in occurrence.
- They make major depredations on oyster beds and the recent activities of the "Crown of Thorns" starfish ( Acanthaster ) in chewing up great chunks of the Great Barrier Reef have become a modern ecological object lesson (and, incidentally, a source of funds for many marine biologists).
- The long slender arms are flexible, unlike the starfish shown previously.
