Sea Star Regeneration

[jhoenedu]

Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always In this video Professor Blake Barron from Santa Barbara City College describes the process of sea star regeneration.

[jutsmyface]

Nice Video That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You In this video Professor Blake Barron from Santa Barbara City College describes the process of sea star regeneration.

[godguetar]

I Really Like The Video From Your In this video Professor Blake Barron from Santa Barbara City College describes the process of sea star regeneration.

[indiage]

Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing In this video Professor Blake Barron from Santa Barbara City College describes the process of sea star regeneration.

[CaffeinesCoffin]

heyyyyy it's patric!

[vanderbiltsax]

It'd be cool if you did a timelapse photo album/video of a sea star regenerating in a tank or some other closed environment.

[wwtapsable]

if a starfish is cut in half and it regenerates 2 would that be considered asexual reproduction

[Scubaman5000]

@wwtapsable You could call it that, but it's not something that the star is doing on it's own so probably not part of it's reproductive strategy. However there is a documented case of another type of sea star called linckia that intentionally drops one of it's arms which crawls away and grows into a new sea star. Look it up, it's pretty interesting.

[DJMetalstone]

@Scubaman5000 Can be a very awsome way for medical purpose once they find out wich gen does it and how too use it for humans that have lost there arms or legs or whatever and make it grow back by inserting some sort of abstract based on what causes the sea star too regenerate , unfortunately such a breakthruw probably means allot fo sea stars used for medical science that won't survive all the tons of tests :(

[baalisgod666]

In the 1960's stupid Australian fisheries officers tried to get rid of the Crown-of-thorns starfish because it was damaging the coral reefs, by chopping them up and throwing them overboard. These dumb fucks made the problem worse!

[lgomezFursio]

Are those chicks at the end HORNY??

[WonderNoobie]

damn so i can exponentially get seastars

[SuperPoketown]

um if you cut the central disk out will the disk make a whole new sea star?

[Scubaman5000]

@SuperPoketown it still needs to be able to move around and eat. Also if there's too much trauma possibility of infection goes way up and chances of survival goes down. So potentially yes... but not likely.

[AGuyInAG]

1. Acquire many Sea Stars.

2. Cut them in half.

3. ???

4. PROFIT!!!

[FailDrummer]

I did not just nfound a guy who makes videos underwater!!!

[Scubaman5000]

@FailDrummer You did!!! Check out my other videos, I have a lot more than just sea stars. I post more as time in my schedule allows me to.

[TRYER25]

1:02 That is exactly why some parts of China's ocean is over run with Jelly Fish. When they over fish the sea beds, they also capture Jellies and when before they toss them overboard, they slice them up and lets all the Jellies eggs out.

[Hakuthehedgehog2]

Starmie used Recover!

[HansWurst24798]

Seems legit.

[norevelation]

WHY IS THE FUCKING AD LONGER THAN THE VIDEO YOU SLUTS.

[shadowspike99]

@norevelation Everybody gets a different ad, dumbass.

[norevelation]

@shadowspike99 Me? That has nothing to do with my comment, you dolt.

[shadowspike99]

@norevelation You said the ad was longer than the video as if you were blaming him. Everyone has a different ad.

[norevelation]

@shadowspike99 yeah, man. my first time coming to the video, and i have to sit through a two minute ad. I understand the ads are different for everybody, i use adsense and adwords, too bro. was just comical.

[TheDarkhollowteme]

Let tell you they do not smell good when you cut them open. . . :l

[skoobsevolaerdna]

@kinderstrudel

But don't they have a nervous system? So wouldn't it hurt? or are there not enough nerves in their arms to react to the loss of a limb?

[Scubaman5000]

@skoobsevolaerdna I love thinking about the idea of pain as it relates to sea stars or other inverts. First you have to ask what is pain? It's a nervous signal interpreted by the brain right? So if you don't have a brain to interpret that signal as pain would it hurt? I don't really know, I'm not a sea star but I'm inclined to say that they don't feel pain the way we think of it. It's more about reflexes than pain. Regarding losing a limb, it doesn't bother them. They do it on purpose sometimes.

[hassmann2000]

@Scubaman5000 I would have to say that all living animals feel pain. Without it, you die essentially. By putting yourself in danger.

[stickmanpwner64]

Time lords

[TheMammadasker]

we should take the seastar's genes and insert it with our genes, maybe we one day will regenerate our arms and legs if we lose'em... its just a hypothesis :p

[DerflaProductions]

WTF did you do to Patrick?!

[gmodfan2008]

i got here from a TF2 video of alot of snipers! 0_o

[eddylugia]

Who came here from Clannad? :D

[Felixphaeton]

@eddylugia I did.

[TheStudioRH]

I wish human could do that.

[theelusivek]

How did I get here from Dragon Ball Z? LOL

[skipper107731]

@theelusivek because star fish are namekians

[Bluerang1]

Patrick brought me here

[killer2611]

sea stars are the devil

[arenasamador]

woo! SANTA BARBARA. my city <3

[FPSd00t]

DAM FUCKING WEIRD PATRICK

[EpicProductions4Life]

Fragmentation is just AMAZING!

[PointlessComedy]

who gives a ....

[krowanders]

@PointlessComedy It's leading to research into human limb regeneration. So I'm sure a lot of injured veterans give a damn.

[PointlessComedy]

@krowanders Ok you got a point.

[Slayerking45]

lol he got same powers as piccolo :P

[Enderfiction]

Would be amazing if us humans were able to regenerate our body parts.

[TheIvanTaShow]

[artuno1207]

I honestly believe as a theory that starfish are some of the few animals that are secretly alien life forms that came here long ago. I mean, come on, It's possible! It would be pretty awesome too...

[captainxshredsalot]

where's the rest of her?!!!

[LittleMissFoxy123]

MUSTACHE

[zeanomourph1]

@Mazenheim That's what I was gonna say!

[Cannabissed]

sooo if you cut a starfish in half, will you get 2 starfish as they both will regenerate?

[Scubaman5000]

@Cannabissed If enough of the central disc remains and the sea star doesn't get an infection than yes you'll get two sea stars from one. The other three arms from the sea star in this video likely grew back two arms while this half was on its way to growing back three arms. There are some sea stars that pop their arms off intentionally as a way to asexually reproduce.

[helloimmisterj]

@Scubaman5000 thenks for that info :) very interesting *thumbs up*

[spiderman5200]

@Scubaman5000 Actually, all the starfishes do that, not just some; that's the way they reproduce.

[Scubaman5000]

@spiderman5200 Most starfish reproduce by broadcast spawning. Look up pictures of starfish larvae, they are pretty strange looking.

[Mazenheim]

@sega31098 LOL

[ERRORBOYable]

NOOOOO! PATRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GDI109]

did you eat it afterwards?

[darkelf743]

thumbnail = Boomerang

[SkynetVita]

looks like a ugly hand vagina

[ptuku]

haha what cuts around gets around??

[McCoyTheBuilder]

Is that guy talking Alton Brown?

[staticgen007]

nyc



[macolmx1]

If i cut a women will i get 2?

[Godsjudgement12]

starmie use recover >:3

[canesno111]

i think itd be cool to inject the dna of a sarfish into a human and see if a limb would grow back

[icool247]

@canesno111 a female breaks her leg and grows a dick instead

[MiniWeskr]

@canesno111 Sounds very science-fictiony, but hey nothing is impossible, just highly improbbable.

[canesno111]

@MiniWeskr yeah i know but we were talkin bout this in class and i just was thinking itd be cool i even told the teacher this and he said you can try it if you want lol

[wasup123ist]

Hey I'm from Santa barbra

[mykovn]

Did he mentioned that it is possible for a whole starfish to grow from one of its leg? Like a starfish have 5 legs, rip all 5 and if they all regenerate you can have 6 starfishes.

[AntonioRules99]

Would be awesome if we could do this... Tear off my arm and throw it at someone... lol

[Acidicheartburn]

I have two starfish in my saltwater reef tank. It was originally one that I got when it hid in some live rock I purchased. It detached one of it's own legs which grew into another whole starfish. Amazing creatures.

[TheCanadaspike]

the green pants guy is tuned on

[theafrodude22]

at around 1:00 when he is telling the story the girls are all giggling and he is like yeah i know i am "the teacher" and the fisher man would cut off their legs and their population doubled! hehehhehe

[dalektaliban]

i saw a star fish regenrate into matt smith, not joking

[thagr8t1]

It's Piccolo!!!!



[TheMarblegirl101]

we learned this in 5th grad a few days ago.

our teacher told us that no matter how many times you cut a sea star into peices a new starfish will alwasys grow back

[field16]

@TheMarblegirl101 Our school teaches the 4th grade kids the same thing. But I was surprised that our school did not teach us something even more significant, that we humans have a part that regenerates, too: our rib bones. If a doctor cuts out one of your ribs, it will regrow in about 6 months, better than the old one. Surgeons take advantage of this fact and use the ribs to reconstruct the bones of a person's head, after severe injury. I wish our schools would teach us, this too.

[importchef]

I went to Santa Barbara City College

[AkitaNeruxX]

wow the arms grow back like Spongebob lol :3

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

how ironic, the fishermen tried to kill every sea star they found and ended up making more lol

[Reneator]

@UniteForgetLeftRight its the same problem like with those squid at the japanese coast. With killing them, they will set free Eggs, which will turn into little squidproducing plant like livings, which will produce big number of that squid. So its really like: "you kill one, even more will come back"!

[Cortake]

Lizard cant regenarete tail  !! only few can like leopard gecko

[FaIlHiGH]

I find that as a hilarious karma. The oyster fishers would cut legs off of sea stars in rage that they ate the oysters but instead of killing them, they increased the number of starfishes, ruining their business. I love the karma.

[TuffLuck777]

@FaIlHiGH I love it!

[sega31098]

We should use starfish leg as a renewable food source.

[BJ151]

@sega31098 and while you're at it combine the mechanism with human cells, then combine that with the brain-controlling technology from neurosky, so when u get hurt u regenerate normally, and when u focus u regenerate way faster:p

[iShrimpEater]

@sega31098 Chop regrows chop regrow chop regrows i dont think mister starfish would like that? D:

[sega31098]

@iShrimpEater lol mr starfish. They don't even have sexes.

[sega31098]

@iShrimpEater

Sorry, they do have sexes, but they do break off limbs themselves to reproduce.

[TheFunyvideos]

@sega31098 most of the stuff in leg is poop

[MegaMousebilly]

@sega31098 that is an amazing idea!!!!!!!!

[notfree25]

@sega31098 You'd be eating something that is kinda still alive =S

[ploy3snoy]

@sega31098 eternal suffering for the creature tho'

[kinderstrudel]

@ploy3snoy Sea Stars aren't capable of suffering. They can't feel pain.

[jerz211]

@sega31098 That is really quite genius.

[halo3rulesyou]

if you split a starfish in half you end up with 2 starfish

[justaskme3103]

So if you chop up a sea star...there will be two sea stars? Thats fricken awesome.

[CoolKubanguy]

@justaskme3103 : NO, they regenerate as long as the central disc is not damage!! 

[Kiutu]

He sounds like that guy from The Partridge Family.

[MartellArts]

Even if someone just took a picture every day it would be cool.

[thehellsyeah123]

i wish that there was a video on youtube showing the growth as a time lapse that would just be amazing

[Scubaman5000]

I'd love to see that too but it'd be difficult since they tend to move around. They twist and turn much faster than the limb grows so the time lapse would be sort of all over the place.

[thehellsyeah123]

yeah i see what you mean but i mean like take a photo every day or so and then but it in a video that would be awesome

[alphamone]

@Scubaman5000

what about a time lapse of a severed leg growing a new starfish?

[Chernobog2]

@Scubaman5000 well someone could take a photo of it ever 12 hours or so and make a stop motion video out of that

but cutting a star in half just to do that is bad and evil!

[dlindeman]

@Scubaman5000 Just use the madreporite as a register point. First tag one so you know which one to photo .

[PSNDonutDude]

@Scubaman5000 I've seen it done. In a time lapse.

[TheHamletant]

@thehellsyeah123 there is one in the first HULK movie at the beginning

[AngelEater0001]

the thing with the oysters was just about one of the dumbest things i heard a person ever do

[Cnidarious]

i have a rather big population of brittlestars in my home aquarium.

They started about smaller then pennies but now there several inches from arm tip to arm tip.

There interesting to watch if you can catch them on the move.

[anthonykvella]

very interesting
