Hi, ever thought that oysters were boring . Think again! The information I found was fascinating. They may not be the cutest of creatures but i think there are possibly one of the smartest. Not only do they provide a vital ocean filter service but they taste pretty good as well. Try looking at some of the websites to see if you agree.
my favourite book was The last traditional oyster men by Mal Stone 2005
also look at: Marine Biology by Peter Castro and Michael E. Huber Fifth edition.
Marine Fish & Sea Creatures by Amy-Jane Beer and Derek Hall 2007
