It pollutes the water with the hard shell and all that.

The main reason why oyster fishermen should not chop up a starfish is because all the chopped up pieces of starfish will each grow into another starfish. So when the oyster fishermen think they killed a starfish, they really made new ones which will eat and kill the oyster crop (the two main predators of oysters are humans and starfish).
