“…The commercial environment from which lobsters are obtained is highly contaminated making it difficult to sample ‘natural’ flora of lobsters. Numerous studies exist on the ecology of biofilms in live‐holding facilities and on lobster boats, including the environmental bacterial infections commonly acquired by rock lobster fishers themselves, most bacteria of which have also been isolated by other authors from captured lobsters and associated with TFN syndrome (Babu et al., 2018; Riley, 2003). Unfortunately, published studies (other than Musgrove et al.…”

Lobsters and crayfish in Australasia can develop a condition known as Tail Fan Necrosis (TFN syndrome). Many attempts have been made to find a primary pathogen or link the syndrome to commercial activities, but a solution remains elusive. TFN syndrome is a ‘wicked problem’, a problem difficult or impossible to solve because of incomplete and contradictory information forming a matrix of potential outcomes with no simple solution. Reviewing the literature shows TFN syndrome is sometimes reported to develop in association with sterile blisters on the telson and uropods which may rupture permitting invasion by environmental fungal and/or bacterial flora. Whether blisters form prior to, or because of, infection is unknown. TFN syndrome sometimes develops in captivity, sometimes requires a previous insult to the telson and uropods, and prevalence is patchy in the wild. The literature shows the cause of blisters associated with TFN syndrome remains an enigma, for which we suggest several possible initiating factors. We strongly urge that researchers not ‘jump to conclusions’ as to the aetiology of TFN syndrome. It cannot be explained without carefully exploring alternative aetiologies whilst being cognisant of the age‐old lesson that ‘correlation does not equal causation’.

“…A total of 43 studies were retrieved for full-text screening including 38 articles from databases search and 5 studies from citation searching [35][36][37][38][39]. Of the 43 retrieved articles, four studies were unable to retrieve full-text [40][41][42][43], six articles were excluded because of not having relevant oral health outcomes [44][45][46][47][48][49] and nine studies were removed due to irrelevant subjects [50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58]. As a result, 24 articles met the eligibility criteria and were included in the final review (S1 Fig).…”

Objectives The aim of this study is to provide an updated overview of the oral health status and associated risk factors in maritime settings. Methods We systematically searched PubMed, Ovid Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL and SCOPUS from January 2010 to April 2023. Two independent reviewers extracted the data. The quality of included studies was assessed using relevant assessment tools. Results A total of 260 records were found in the initial search; 24 articles met the inclusion criteria. Most studies had descriptive design, and only two randomized controlled trials were found. The main oral health issues noted are oral cancer, dental caries, periodontal diseases, oral mucosal lesions, and dental emergency. Male seafarers have higher risk of oral cancers in the tongue, lips, and oral cavity while oral mucosal lesions are more prevalent among fishermen. Conclusions Dental caries and periodontal diseases are prevalent in both seafarers and fishermen. The consumption of tobacco, alcohol, fermentable carbohydrate, and poor oral hygiene are risk factors that affect the oral health status at sea. The occurrence of oral diseases in maritime setting requires more attention of researchers and authorities to develop strategies to tackle these issues. Trial registration Systematic review registration number in PROSPERO: CRD42020168692.
