Howdy all!  I've been typing up my findings for the paper, and I just came
up to a huge wall.

I need to know about the harvest of Triton's Trumpet...  when?  Where?  Was
it ever to endangering levels?

Also, how does it develop?  veliger larvae?  how long is that stage of
development and how far can it transport?  In other words, is it similar to
the case in the caribbean with S. gigas where if one country strips all of
theirs, the next year's recruitment downstream is screwed?  Does anyone know
of any research that's been done or being done with these guys and Crown of
Thorns stars?

Waiting in discomfort and angst,
-James
