Joseph Kunkel interviewed for Bangor Daily News story on lobster shell disease
Research Professor of Marine Sciences Joseph Kunkel, Ph.D., was interviewed for an Aug. 15th Bangor Daily News story on fears that lobster shell disease is inching into the Gulf of Maine.
Kunkel commented in the story that "he is hesitant to read too much significance into the reports he has heard of lobster shell disease creeping into the gulf. The sample size for the numbers of affected lobsters found in the Gulf of Maine is so small, he said, that a small pocket of diseased lobsters could skew the estimates for how prevalent the disease is."
