In all other forms of shell disease, lesions appear to be round, and, at least for ISD, these initial lesion loci have been associated with setal pores and may, in time, spread to cover larger surfaces of the carapace symmetrically (Smolowitz et al.

This result is consistent with literature examining the "leakiness" of setal arrays that predict cylindrical setae with dimensions (i.e., gap to lappet diameter ratio [less than or equal to] 1) and fluid regimes (Re 0.5-10) similar to those of swimming ephyrae would have leakiness values of less than 20% (Hansen and Tiselius, 1992; Koehl, 1993, 2001).
