True Oyster
The Ostreidae, the true oysters, include most species of molluscs commonly consumed as oysters. Pearl oysters are not true oysters, and belong to the order Pteriida. Like scallops, true oysters have a central adductor muscle, which means the shell has a characteristic central scar marking its point of attachment. The shell tends to be irregular as a result of attaching to a substrate. Both oviparous (egg-bearing) and larviparous (larvae-bearing) species are known within Ostreidae. Both types are hermaphrodites. However, the larviparous species show a pattern of alternating sex within each individual, whereas the oviparous species are simultaneous hermaphrodites, producing either female or male gametes according to circumstances. Members of genus ''Ostrea'' generally live continually immersed and are quite flat, with roundish shells. They differ from most bivalves by having shells completely made up of calcite, but with internal muscle scars of aragonitic composition. They fare ...

Magallana Gigas
The Pacific oyster, Japanese oyster, or Miyagi oyster (''Magallana gigas''), is an oyster native to the Pacific coast of Asia. It has become an introduced species in North America, Australia, Europe, and New Zealand. Etymology The genus ''Magallana'' is named for the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and its specific epithet ''gígās'' is from the Greek for "giant". It was previously placed in the genus ''Crassostrea''; from the Latin ''crass'' meaning "thick", ''ostrea'' meaning "oyster", and ''Crassostrea gigas'' is considered by part of the scientific community to be the proper denomination as an accepted alternative in WoRMS, Description The shell of ''M. gigas'' varies widely with the environment where it is attached. Its large, rounded, radial folds are often extremely rough and sharp. The two valves of the shell are slightly different in size and shape, the right valve being moderately concave. Shell colour is variable, usually pale white or off-white. Mature speci ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Magallana Bilineata
''Magallana bilineata'', commonly known as the Philippine cupped oyster or slipper oyster, is an economically important species of true oyster found abundantly in the western Pacific Ocean, from the Philippines to Tonga and Fiji. In 2020 an exotic population was discovered in north-east Australia. They grow attached to hard objects in brackish shallow intertidal or subtidal waters, at depths of . They are cultured extensively in the Philippines, where annual landings can range from 11,700 to 18,300 tons. They are known as ''talaba'' or ''talabang tsinelas'' ("slipper oyster") in Filipino to distinguish them from ''talabang kukong kabayo'' ("horse-hoof oyster", ''Saccostrea malabonensis'') See also *Pacific oyster The Pacific oyster, Japanese oyster, or Miyagi oyster (''Magallana gigas''), is an oyster native to the Pacific coast of Asia.

Magallana Hongkongensis
The Hong Kong oyster (''Magallana hongkongensis''), is a species of true oyster found in Hong Kong and the mouth of Pearl River in China. The species was uniquely identified by comparing the genetic distances of mitochondrial DNA sequences. The species has a long cultivation history for over 700 years. It is a sister taxon In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit.
