How do oysters reproduce?

Answer 1

Some species of oyster are hermaphrodites, developing both eggs and sperm. The eggs are fertilized within the body and are retained in the gills until larvae are formed, at which time they are released into the water. American bluepoint oysters in the Atlantic have separate sexes. Females discharge eggs into the water where sperm from male oysters fertilize them. The larvae develop within six hours, swim for about two or three weeks, and then settle on stones or shells. They mature by the end of the first year.

Oysters can reproduce by opeing, and closing its shell throughout the ocean floor. Also your mom says so and she like does it with them and helps them reproduce and that is how it works all the time evertime also i forgot that your mom loves me

Answer 3

Oysters reproduce by releasing eggs and sperm into the water, where fertilization occurs externally. Fertilized eggs develop into larvae that eventually settle and grow into adult oysters. Oysters are capable of changing their sex to facilitate reproduction, with each individual being able to produce both eggs and sperm.
