Long Island Sound oystermen routinely thin and clean the underwater beds they lease from the state, while removing predators such as starfish and snails called oyster drills.
This pouch design prevented predation on oyster spat from common predators like blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) and oyster drills (Stramonita haemastoma) (Smith 1983, Eggleston 1990).
Transfers of oysters are still regulated and quarantine areas established to reduce further spread of oyster drills (WDFW 1961, Nosho 1975).
