 Eastern Oyster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is a prevalent pathogen of oysters, causing massive mortality in oyster populations and poses a significant economic threat to the oyster industry.
The Eastern Oysters, like all members of the family Ostreidae, can make small pearls to surround particles that enter the shell.
However these pearls are insignificant in size and of no value; the Pearl Oyster, from which commercial pearls are harvested, is of a different family.

Maybe the progenitors of Ostreidae and Alligatoridae lived at the same time in the geologic past.
Ostreidae and Alligatoridae are so different that an objective standard of morphological similarity can't be envisioned.

It has been estimated that there are 1.5 x lo 6 hectares of estuarine waters and 12,555 km 2 of aquatic surface within the 125 coastal lagoons in the Mexican coasts.
In the Ostreidae family, a closely parental relation among species of the Genus Crassostrea, has been corroborated, it is based on anatomical, physiological and cytogenetic features (Nelson, 1938; Loosanoff and Nomejko, 1951; Menzel, 1968a, b; Ahmed, 1967; Rodríguez-Romero et al., 1979a, b).
Biochemistry techniques in the study of phylogeny and taxonomy of plants and animals are strongly used at present.

The purpose of the analysis was to compare the karyotype of C. corteziensis with the results of similar studies performed on the family Ostreidae.
Specimens from Estero de Pozo, San Blas, Nayarit, México, were processed to obtain chromosomes by air drying technique.
In the Ostreidae there is no evidence of this kind of chromosomes (Longwell, 1967.

ABSTRACT: In vitro phagocytosis of plasmodial stages of H. nelsoni by haemocytes from 2 oyster and 1 mussel species was investigated.
ABSTRACT: The relationship between potential defence-related cellular and humoral activities and the susceptibility of Crassostrea virginica to Perkinsus marinus were examined at 10, 15, 20 and 25 deg C. oysters were acclimated at each temperature for 20 days and then challenged with trophozoites of P. marinus.
ABSTRACT: Lectin-binding surface receptors on haemocytes from oysters were compared with those on plasmodial stages of H. nelsoni (MSX).

TITLE: Mucocyte distribution and relationship to particle transport on the pseudolamellibranch gill of Crassostrea virginica (Bivalvia: Ostreidae)
The results of the present study conform to a pattern of specialization of mucus types and functions on the diverse types of bivalve gill, depending on particle trajectory, transporting surface architecture, and dominant current flow.
