Abstract
It is proved that the number of numerical semigroups with a fixed number n of star operations is finite if n > 1. The result is then extended to the class of analytically irreducible residually rational one-dimensional Noetherian rings with finite residue field and integral closure equal to a fixed discrete valuation domain.
