Description
Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is a North American oyster found along the east coast of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico. They congregate in groups on the ocean floor called "beds." The eastern oyster population declined drastically in the wild over the past few centuries due to overharvesting, but today oyster beds are actively cultured to encourage growth. They are harvested for their meat and shells.
