No starfish, more accurately seastars, do not breathe through gills. Instead: Oxygen enters mainly by diffusion into the tube feet (and thus into the water vascular system) or the papulae, which are little sacs all over the upper surface of the body.

This sight has a simple explanation, although it's not very detailed.
Also, you have your question wrong. Circulation Respiration doesn't exsist. Circulation is a system in your body and respiration is another system in your body. Maybe you are thinking of cellular respiration, that is a process in which you breath out CO2 (carbon Dioxide) and plants produce O2 (Oxygen) with that Carbon Dioxide.
