Morphology and Settling Velocity of Sea Stars (<i>Asterias rubens</i>)

Morphology and Settling Velocity of Sea Stars (<i>Asterias rubens</i>)

This study presents morphological data and estimates of the settling velocity and drag coefficient of sea stars (<i>Asterias rubens</i>) caught in the Limfjord, Denmark. A geometric model describing the sea star is presented and the thickness and arm width are determined as linear functi...
