Papers, 1913-1961 (bulk 1941-1955).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50952293

Papers primarily include copies of articles concerning research conducted during Research Project 9 (1947-1950), headed by Sewall Hopkins and sponsored by the Texas A & M University Research Foundation, regarding abnormally high mortality rates in oyster beds harvested by Louisiana oystermen. One of at least four major research projects initiated as a result of lawsuits filed in 1946 by Louisiana oystermen against major oil companies active in offshore drilling in the Gulf Mexico, Project 9 resulted in the identification and published description (1950) of a newly discovered parasite called Dermocystidium marinum. The lawsuits against the oil companies were subsequently dropped or settled out of court. Hopkins was a Texas A & M Professor Emeritus until his death in College Station, Texas in Nov. 1984. Other researchers whose work is represented in the papers include Jay Donald Andrews, John C. Aull, A.D. Bajkov, Harry J. Bennet, A.D. Bajkov, James L. Boswell, Clair Brown, Sidney O.
