Oyster Ecology • Lives on surface of sediments • Sessile - stays in one place • Forms reefs - intertidal and subtidal • “Foundation” or “keystone” species • Provides habitat for many species by creating hard substrate for attachment and refuge •
Review concepts of an oyster’s anatomy, life cycle, habitat, and benefits to the environment. Describe what turbidity, temperature, pH, and salinity are and how they can

Oysters are bivalves, which is the name for a number of marine and freshwater mollusks that have long, flat bodies made up of a shell consisting of two hinged parts. Oysters use their gills and cilia to process water and feed. Oysters have a small heart and internal organs, but no central nervous system.
