1934. Need for methods for the bacteri- 

 ological examination of Crustacea. American 

 Journal of Public Health, vol. 24, No. 3, p. 

 199-202. 



The methods of production, the oppor- 

 tunities for contamination, and the 

 perishable character of crab, lobster, and 

 crayfish products require the development 

 of bacteriological methods. There is a 

 direct correlation between unsanitary 

 methods of production and the incidence 

 of fecal Bacillus coli in the finished 

 product. A successful method for the 

 examination of crustacean meat is 

 discussed.

 the effect on industry. Some widespread 

 deaths were due to a paramoeba.

 Myzobdella lugubris Leidy, and its association 

 with mortality of the blue crab, Callinectes

 45, No. 4, p. 384,404,430. 



Over one-half of 30 dead crabs in Bulow 

 Creek, Volusia County, Fla., had leeches 

 attached, some penetrating holes in the 

 carapaces (not certain if they caused the 

 holes). They fed on the blood and juices of 

 the host by suction and the anticoagulant 

 action of their salivary secretion. Impli- 

 cated as a possible factor in mortality of 

 the blue crab.

The generic name, Callinectes, and the

 names are given.

The placement of the entrance funnels in 

 the lowest rows of wire meshes in the pot 

 allowed the crab to enter easily. A one-way 

 gate was found to be as effective in crab 

 retention as the standard wire partition, 

 and cheaper and faster to construct.
