In San Diego, the most common species of oyster is the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas), which is known for its adaptability and rapid growth. Additionally, the native Olympia oyster (Ostreola conchaphila) can also be found in the region, although it is less prevalent. Both species thrive in the coastal waters and contribute to the local marine ecosystem. The Pacific oyster is often cultivated for commercial purposes, while the Olympia oyster is valued for its historical significance and unique flavor.

The role of an oyster is to provide food for different species such as humans and starfish. Another important role of an oyster is to filter water. One oyster can filter something like 3-4 liters of water per hour!
The word oyster is used as a common name for a number of distinct groups of bivalve molluscs which live in marine or brackish habitats. The valves are highly calcified. Some kinds of oyster are commonly consumed by humans, cooked or raw. Other kinds, such as pearl oysters, are not.
A pearl is typically found within the shells of mollusks, particularly oysters and certain types of clams. The most renowned source of pearls is the saltwater oyster from the family Pteriidae, especially species like the Akoya oyster, the Tahitian black-lipped oyster, and the South Sea oyster. These mollusks produce pearls as a defense mechanism against irritants, forming layers of nacre around the foreign object.
There are several websites that one can buy an antique oyster plates. These websites include Virginia Antiques, Kobels, Ruby Lane, and Garden and Gun.
Some day when a little oyster has grown up into a big oyster he/she gets the choice to move onto a different stage of life. Much like an Amish person gets to choose to leave all they know an oyster can do so too. Unlike an Amish person however an oyster can choose to return to what it once was. So his little oyster penis inverts itself to form a vagina. Once he gets sick of the vag he can then inflate it back into a penis. I hope you realize that oysters can also have hot steamy sex with themselves too. Now pearl oysters are a whole different story because they are part of a different bivalve family completely. Hope this helped! Much love --- A Sexually Confused Oyster
