Abstract

Sea Star Wasting Disease (SSWD) affects several wild and captive starfish species. It is generally thought to be infectious, with environmental conditions favouring its progression. Captive Asterias rubens with varying degrees of epidermal ulceration, limb autotomy and eversion of viscera were examined. Antibiotic treatments by injections and baths did not reduce mortality.
