Long-spined sea urchins have emerged as an environmental issue off Australia 's far south coast.

They devour kelp and invertebrates, leaving barren habitats in their wake.

Scientists have been looking for ways to combat the spread of urchin populations.

But recent research in NSW suggested the influence of lobsters on urchine populations was low, while fish could be more important.
