Description Nutritional composition of edible oysters (Crassostrea madrasensis) from the
wild and cultured growth habitats from the southwest coast of India were
evaluated over 4 years (2008–2011) during the premonsoon season. The
important nutritional qualities of this species have been correlated with chlorophyll-
a concentration, sea surface temperature, and phytoplankton density in
their growth environments. The higher proportions of total polyunsaturated
fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids in the edible oysters
collected from the wild habitats were significantly correlated with chlorophylla
concentration revealing the role of the phytoplanktons to contribute to the
occurrence of these vital fatty acids. The ideal atherogenic index (AI); thrombogenicity
index (TI); hypocholesterolemic/hypercholesterolemic ratio (HH);
and balanced quantities of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and low cholesterol
contents qualified C. madrasensis as a potential health food.
