Title Taxonomy of Indian oysters
 
Creator Rao, K Satyanarayana
 
Subject Edible oyster
 
Description There has been considerable disagreement on the
identity of oysters due to the large variations in shape,
size, texture and colour of shell which are very much
influenced by the substratum and ecological conditions.
As many as hundred species of living oysters and five
hundred species of extinct ones were recognized initially
(Korringa, 1952). Later it has been realized that most
of the species were not valid.
