bicycle, en route to Manteo and

v Mr. Wade, director of the More

matter too much. He is making the

Speaker Tells |
Of Oyster Crabs
The oyster crab is considered a
great delicacy in northern mar
kets, Dr. Neal Beach, Gettysburg,
Pa.„ told Beaufort Rotations Tues
day.
Dr. Beach, a professor at Get
tysburg college, was the guest
speaker at the club meeting, and
is at the Duke Marine laboratory
doing research on the oyster crab.
Chance for local development of
an oyster crab market is very slim,
Dr. Beach stated. Only about two
to three per cent of oysters avail
able here contain the crabs, in
comparison with an average 50 per
cent infestation in other areps. The
crabs bring a very high price, he
added.
The crab is not a parasite, Dr.
Beach said. It enters the oyster
during the spat stage of the oyster
as an egg or larvae, and inter
cepts fowl brought into the oyster
by currents.
Visitors were Jack Roberts, Pat
Dill, Bob Nader and Fred Lewis,
all of the Morehead City Rotary
club.
