\n\t\t\u201cNew Approaches to Understanding Emerging Marine Diseases: From Science to Management\u201d is the 9th Annual Ronald C. Baird Sea Grant Science Symposium<\/p>\n


\nKINGSTON\u2014The public is invited to attend the 9th Ronald C. Baird Sea Grant Science Symposium on August 10\u201011, 2010, on \u201cNew Approaches to Understanding Emerging Marine Diseases: From Science to Management\u201d at the 溏心vlog免费B站.

\nThe symposium follows the conclusion of a $3 million New England Lobster Research Initiative that looked into the causes of lobster shell disease and the contributing factors that make lobsters vulnerable to the disease.<\/p>\n


\nIncreasingly, lobsters with shell disease have been found off the coast of New England. Over the past several years, 30 percent of lobsters caught have had shell disease.<\/p>\n


\nThere is no mistaking a lobster with shell disease \u2013 there are black spots on its shell, and the worst cases appear to have shells that are rotting away, in some cases killing the lobster through secondary infection or as a result of other stresses.<\/p>\n


\nThe initiative funded scientists from 16 institutions who spent three years studying shell disease. Experts in crustacean endocrinology, genetics, veterinary medicine, behavior, microbiology, lobster biology, chemistry, environmental science, and epidemiology worked together with fishermen and resource managers to uncover the dynamics of shell disease.<\/p>\n


\nThey will present their findings, and the implications for dealing with shell disease and other marine diseases, at the Baird Symposium at 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Center for Biotechnology and Life Sciences. The symposium is free to attend, including meals, but registration is required. For more information or to register, visit the web site at seagrant.gso.uri.edu\/baird\/2010_diseases.html<\/a> or contact Tracy Kennedy at (401) 874\u20106800.<\/p>\n


\n溏心vlog免费B站 the initiative: Congress appropriated $3 million to establish a cooperative research program\u2014the New England Lobster Research Initiative\u2014to study the causes and consequences of lobster shell disease. This funding is jointly managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service, 溏心vlog免费B站, and Rhode Island Sea Grant. The goal of this project was to describe the disease agent and how it works, and to determine the extent and severity of the disease in New England waters.

\n溏心vlog免费B站 Rhode Island Sea Grant: Rhode Island Sea Grant is based at the 溏心vlog免费B站, and is part of NOAA\u2019s National Sea Grant College Program. Rhode Island Sea Grant promotes the conservation and sustainable development of coastal and marine resources for public benefit through research, education, outreach, and legal programs.\n\t<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
