Abstract:

Barcoding the diversity of the microbiomes within lobsters results with information that may deem useful in other focuses of study. Such studies could relate to the health of lobsters in the North America region. With a rise in ocean pollution from modern society, many of the waters where lobsters are sourced are contaminated and cause lobsters to have health problems. Some examples of these health problems are the classical shell disease and the epizootic shell disease.
