Synthetic crustacean attractant compositions useful as bait for crustaceans, especially crabs and lobsters. An attractant is sorbed on a solid carrier. The composition is in either powder form and placed in a permeable package or is formed into a conveniently shaped pellet. The composition is then placed in a trap or attached to a trot line, and the trap or trot line is submerged in an aquatic environment. The attractant which is sorbed on the surface of the solid carrier is in equilibrium with attractant in solution about the composition. The attractant in solution acts to lure the crustaceans. The controlled release process of the invention provides an amount of attractant in solution to lure crustaceans for days. The composition is simple and cost effective to manufacture, has an indefinite shelf life without refrigeration and is very easy to handle.

A dry electrostatic developer mix having improved fatigue-resistance properties, is realized by adding to the developer mix, which contains carrier particles and pigmented toner particles, molybdenum disulfide in amounts ranging from about 0.005% to about 1.0% preferably in the range of from about 0.009% to about 0.2% based on the weight of carrier particles present in the developer mixture.

Electrostatic developer mix containing either MoS.sub.2, TiS.sub.2, WS.sub.

A method of making a reproduction of a graphic original using high output electrostatic reproduction equipment which utilizes photoconductive members that are each developed in sequence using a developer mix and wherein the longevity of said developer mix is affected by the stress to which it is subjected in the environment of said high output equipment, said method comprising the steps of:
