All species of the genus Ostrea brood their embryos in the infrabranchial chamber (Millar and Hollis, 1963; Galtsoff, 1964; Chanley and Dinamani, 1980; Harry, 1985; Cranfield and Michael, 1989).

When Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus described oysters in 1758, he placed them in the genus Ostrea, meaning "the rough ones." Although most people think the oyster's outer shell invariably has a bland, grayish color, some shells are reddish brown and others are green; many are mottled.
