influenced estuarine habits in the tropics are favor the settlement of oysters
and their larval stages, which protect them from strong waves and speedy
currents. Shell structure in Bivalves forms an important protective system.
Description of the relationship between shell and soft body characteristics are
essential in understanding ecological variations and productivity of oyster
population. A total number of 627 oyster specimens were collected from
different locations in Goa as case study for
the tropical estuaries and studied for their allometric relationships. Data
described in the present document could be of importance in monitoring the
health of natural oyster beds. It also serves a baseline for planning
sustainable management and understanding the aquaculture potential of Crassostrea spp. in mangrove influenced
estuarine habitats.
