Description The oysters are sedentary bivalve molluscs
which are gregarious and found in aggregates
attached by their right shell valve to hard
substrata, forming oyster beds or oyster banks
in varied environments, intertidal and subtidal
zones in shallow coastal waters, bays, creeks,
lagoons, backwaters and estuarine environment.
In India, natural stocks of oysters are exploited
on a small scale at a number of places as a
subsistence fishery and oysters are not cultured
commercially.
