00:03Starfish are beautiful and elegant creatures that are one of our oceans prized animals but now many
00:08species are simply turning to dust before our very eyes and scientists finally think they know why
00:13according to new research published in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology there are
00:17bacteria in the oceans that thrive in warmer waters the bacteria live extremely close to
00:22the skin of starfish but kill without touching them instead the bacteria suck up and deplete
00:27the oxygen all around the sea stars causing decaying tissue and limb loss more or less turning
00:32them into goo it's called sea star wasting disease and it's responsible for the death of large numbers
00:38of the creatures over the years and what's worse dying starfish give off more organic matter which
00:43spurs more bacterial growth something experts say is quote a new kind of idea for disease transmission
00:48and a problem that will likely get worse as the planet gets warmer and the oceans continue to heat up
00:57but there are no other factors still look.
00:58So now this channel we have a little closer to spreading from the flashbacks
00:58of the planet we have been Attack on Mars colors when we kind of time buzzing
00:59in all insides and other industries we have been involved with not only assez
