Abstract A study of the height-depth relation in the Indian backwater oyster Crassostrea
madrasensis (Preston) was carried out. The plot of height against depth showed an
exponential trend and a relationship of the form H = ADB. Plot of hejght against
depth also showed larger deviations in height for oysters with greater depth. Analysis
showed that variations in height does not result in corresponding variations in
depth, particularly in oysters with increased height.
