Titles of Papers Presented

Si

Annual Keetings from 1930 to 19^7

\0

Meetings of the National Shellfisheries Association and its parent,
the National Association of Shellfish Commissioners j have served as forvims
for discussion of new knowledjie on shellfisheries of ihe American coasts. At
annual meetings, biologists, industry members, food technologists, and public
health officials have exchanged information on biology of shellfish, control
of enemies, harvesting crops, marketing products, and other topics.

For many years reports were distributed in mimeographed form to the
members of the Associationc Since 19!?0 convention addresses have been edited
more thoroughly and issued as "Proceedings of the National Shellfisheries
Association", Proceedings are novj duplicated by the zerox process, many li-
braries throughout the world are sent free copies, and reprints are available
to authors.

The present list includes titles of papers given at conventions
since 1930, A complete set of these papers, many of wliich are not generally
available, is held by the Association, Some discussions of very local or
temporary value are not listed here. It is planned that this entire set will
be microfilmed. The list of titles is reproduced for three purposes*

1. To provide information on the scope and quantity
of reports given in past years,

2, To provide a bibliography for use of members and
libraries,

3c To aid interested parties in obtaining copies of
papers through microfilms or other means.

It is possible that papers were presented which are not among our
files. If you know of additions which could be loaned to the Association for
microfilming, please notify L, Eugene Cronin, Chesapeake Biological Labora-
tory, Solomons, Marylando
