%X Existing models of the dispersal of crown-of-thorns starfish larvae in the  Great Barrier Reef suffer from problems with numerical algorithms,  unrealistic assumptions about open-boundary forcings, and unrealistic  parameterization of dispersion processes in the presence of salient  topography. These problems probably invalidate some of the published  model results, and these models should probably not be used for  management of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
