Specifically, this study describes the predatory interaction between the spider crab and A. amurensis and quantifies patterns of sub-lethal injuries inflicted on the seastar during a localised aggregation of the spider crab. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[147.5, -43.5], [148.0, -43.5], [148.0, -42.5], [147.5, -42.5], [147.5, -43.5]]]} 147.5 148.0 -43.5 -42.5 25 154001 28 880010 Asterias amurensis Biosphere | Ecological Dynamics | Competition Biosphere | Ecological Dynamics | Predation Biosphere | Zoology | Crustaceans Biosphere | Zoology | Echinoderms Density Leptomithrax gaimardii Oceans | Marine Biology | Marine Habitat Pattern of sub-lethal damage Rate of wound regeneration Ray length - seastar Sub-lethal damage incidence ORCID ID documentDigital HTML ORCID ID documentDigital HTML ORCID ID documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital License Graphic PNG Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
