The emergence of epizootic shell disease in American lobsters Homarus americanus in the southern New England area, USA, has presented many new challenges to understanding the interface between disease and fisheries management. This paper examines past knowledge of shell disease, supplements this with the new knowledge generated through a special New England Lobster Shell Disease Initiative completed in 2011, and suggests how epidemiological tools can be used to elucidate the interactions between fisheries management and disease.
美国新英格兰南部地区美洲龙虾（Homarus americanus）爆发的 epizootic 壳病，给理解疾病与渔业管理之间的关系带来了诸多新挑战。本文回顾了过去对壳病的认识，并通过 2011 年完成的一项新英格兰龙虾壳病特别倡议所产生的新知识进行补充，同时提出如何利用流行病学工具来阐明渔业管理与疾病之间的相互作用。
