Scientists and researchers have discovered and positively identified a form of herpes as the culprit in a widespread of viral outbreak that has recently killed as many as 8 billion French oysters in coastal area of France in recent weeks. Experts in marine science are warning that the great oyster devastation of 2008 have been a result of a new form of herpes virus and will result in a shortage of supplies in oysters and shellfish over the next two years and may be more, and will most probably push many people who cultivate aquaculture sell the creatures now to avoid the financial ruin.
