The report also expands two species to five and there may be more.
Seattle Aquarium Veterinarian Lesanna Lahner said the findings show the
problem is expanding across sea star species. The Aquarium uses sea
water from Puget Sound in its exhibits and several of its sea stars have
died of the disorder.
Scientists still don’t know how to treat or prevent wasting disorder but
say they are narrowing in on a cause. They are ruling out some
theories like radiation from Japan’s leaking Fukushima nuclear power
plant. The Washington State Health Department and other agencies have
tested coastal fish and found no elevated radiation levels.
It’s an important investigation because sea stars help maintain a
healthy ocean eco-system by eating creatures that nothing else does.
Nothing to see here folks shelter in place and all that....all is well the ( Cough ) experts got this
