| Abstract/Description: | Of the 8 species of Crassostrea listed by Awati and Rai (1931) only C. madrasensis (Preston), C. gryphoides (Newton & Smith), C. discoidea (Gould) and C. cucuU lata are known to be economically and commercially important so far as India is concerned. Following Stenzel (1971) who recognised Saccostrea as one of the eight genera of living oysters the tuberculated species, Crassostrea cucuUata is now designated as Saccostrea cucullata (Born). It has now been reported by Rao (personal communication) that it is C. rivularis (Gould) that occurs all along the Gujarat Coast and in some regions of Maharashtra coast. Judging from the commonness and distributional abundance of these 4 species under the two g snera found in India it can be reasonably stated that C. madrasensis is the native oyster of India and C gryphoides and C. rivularis may be designated as west coast oysters for the purpose of convenience. |
