Plankton or nekton?

Pacific_oyster#Life_Cycle states that the larva is planktonic but the description describes a nektonic animal. Could someone clarify? Craig Pemberton (talk) 20:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which valve is cupped and which is flat?

According to the cited UN FAO reference at http://www.fao.org/fishery/species/3514 "Shell solid, inequivalve, extremely rough, extensively fluted, and laminated; left (lower) valve deeply cupped, its sides sometimes almost vertical, the right (upper) valve flat or slightly convex sitting withing left; inequilateral" yet this article asserts that "the right valve being moderatly cup shaped" in contradiction to the external reference. Perhaps that should be changed to read "the left valve being moderatly cup shaped". 67.86.73.252 (talk) 00:49, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

C. angulata

According to this JNCC (UK) site "Crassostrea gigas and Crassostrea angulata are thought to be the same species...". Peraps such synonyms should be mentioned in the taxobox (C. angulata is attributed to Lamarck 1819, presumably Histoire naturelle des animaux sans vertèbres). If they are synonymous then perhaps the name Portuguese oyster should also be mentioned. 67.86.73.252 (talk) 23:48, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

C. gigas and C. angulata are also listed as synonyms at this UK site. 67.86.73.252 (talk) 00:16, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The UN FAO page at this URL says that "The question whether angulata and gigas are different species, subspecies or just forms has not yet been resolved." 67.86.73.252 (talk) 00:18, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong image?

The image is titled Ostrea edulis. Could someone verify the identity of the species imaged? Craig Pemberton (talk) 20:59, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
