Book Synopsis Use of Lime in Controlling Starfish by : Victor Lyon Loosanoff
Book excerpt: The starfish (Asterias forbesi Desor) is one of the most destructive enemies of shellfish on the Atlantic coast of North America, the extent of its damange to the oyster industry of Long Island Sound alone being estimated at $500,000 a year. Efforts to eradicate the pest, though made for at least a century, have been largely unavailing.
