Dying Lobsters

The video discusses the discovery of a virus affecting Caribbean spiny lobsters, identified by marine ecologist Don Behringer. The PaV1 virus causes infected lobsters to stop molting and eating, leading to death. It spreads through contact and water, especially affecting juveniles. Lobsters may detect disease through scent, avoiding infected individuals. Efforts are underway to ensure sustainable fishing practices to prevent further spread. The research aims to manage the disease and protect lobster populations.

What evidence suggests that lobsters may have disease detectors?

What is the ultimate goal of Behringer's research on lobster disease?
