Causes of Climate Change. Climate change is a long-term shift in weather conditions identified by changes in temperature, precipitation, winds, and other indicators.
Answer by Marcin Wojtkowski. Confidence votes 167. Most sea star (starfish) species are generalist predators, some eating bivalves like mussels, clams, and oysters; or any animal slow enough to be unable to evade the attack (e.g. dying fish). Some species are detritivores, eating decomposed animal and plant material, or organic films attached to substrate.
And many starfish also live in the deep-sea (below 200m). Of the 36 living families of sea stars, nineteen of them occur exclusively in the deep-sea (436 species)! Four families are mostly deep sea but with some shallow-water members (1191 species) and several families include large numbers of deep-sea members.
