Generally sea stars relay on different mode reproduction, many species in the order Paxillosida are belong to the genera Astropecten but the study about the genus Astropecten is meager. I want to know How many Astropecten species are studied from different geographical location?. How about its reproductive pattern?
Hi! Chamu,
Please see attached paper on Astropecten phylogeny which would answer a part of your question.

Dear Chamundeeswari,
It is true that there is no much information on this field. However, you for sure will find very useful the chapter of Prof. Ventura on Astropecten Biology (Lawrence JM, editor. Starfish: biology and ecology of the Asteroidean. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press; 2013. p. 101–8).
I focused part of my research this field throughout last years, and I will be glad to assist you in case you need any additional information.
Sincerely,
Marc
Thank you all for suggesting me good articles and particularly the paper "Growth and reproductive biology of the sea star Astropecten aranciacus" was very much useful to me. Sure Dr. Marc Baeta, I will ask your help in this regard.
regards,
Chamu, K
