Oysters I lave
Many and Busy
Enemies in Sea
(By The Associated Press) j
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 7— J
Worried over the defenseless ■
plight of the oyster the bureau
of fisheries has Laid bare the sub
marine plots that menace the
bivalve.
“Aquatic creatures armed with
suction pumps, drills, crushers1
and other instruments of warfare
prey upon the oyster,” said R. H.
Fielder, chief of the division of:
fishery industries.
One of the worst oyster foes is j
a snail found in the middle Atlan j
tic area. It drills a hole through
the oyster shell with its tongue!
and then sticks in its nose and i.
somehow sniffs its prey to death. I
Up around Long Island sound
the star fish gives the oyster an
injection of a narcotic, puts him
to sleep and then devours him.
“The black drum, found on the
South Atlantic coast, crushes the
oyster shell between the bony
plates in the back of his mouth
and then devours the meat,” Mr.
Fielder said.
Lesser enemies which harass
the oyster when the deadlier foes
have gone are conches, mussels,
boring sponges and boring elams.
Even the elements combine to
destroy the oyster, with his house j
and home.
“In the springtime,” Fielder:
went on, “freshets carry large;
quantities of fresh water over ]
the beds. This lowers the salti- ,
ness of the water, often proving!
fatal to the oysters.
Besides making meals out of
oysters, man's chief contribution
to their discomfort is overfishing
the beds and dumping trash on
them. ,
“And in the free swimming
stage the oyster is a favorite food
of other oysters,” Fielder addel.
