1. 1. Osmotic measurements were made on the perivisceral coelomic and water vascular fluids of 4 species of northwest Pacific starfish and their stable sea-water media. 2. 2. Mean levels of both fluids were hyperosmotic in every species, often at statistically significant levels. 3. 3. For ...

Time course studies employing the fluorescent, high molecular weight tracer, fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran, confirm that there is a steady entry of sea water through the madreporite of the starfish, Echinaster graminicola, even under constant environmental conditions. This entry serves to supply rep...
The water vascular system of asteroids serves crucial roles in locomotion, food handling, respiration and, in many species, burrowing. The functional morphology of starfish tube feet: the role of a crossed-fiber helical array in movement One of the most distinctive characteristics of echinoderms is...
