Bacteria Identified as Cause of Pacific Sea Star Mass Die-Off
A decade-long mystery surrounding the mass die-off of over 20 species of sea stars along the Pacific coast has been solved: Vibrio pectenicida bacteria, found in the coelomic fluid of affected sea stars, is the culprit, devastating populations like the sunflower sea star and leading to the loss of a...

Vibrio pectenicida Identified as Culprit in Sunflower Sea Star Mass Die-Off
A strain of the bacterium Vibrio pectenicida has been identified as the cause of a sea star wasting disease epidemic that has killed 5.8 billion sunflower sea stars (90% of the global population) since 2013, impacting kelp forests and the broader marine ecosystem.
