Oyster a.k.a Oystrz, Oistre, Ostrea, Ostreum, ὄστρεον (ostreon) 'oyster'
Oysters filter large amounts of water to feed and breathe (exchange conspecifics. O2 and CO2 with water) but they are not permanently open. They regularly shut their valves to enter a resting state, even when they are permanently submersed. Their behaviour follows very strict circatidal and circadian rhythms according to the relative moon and sun positions. During neap tides, they exhibit much longer closing periods than during the spring tide.
Ecosystem services nutrient pollution for an As an ecosystem engineer, oysters provide supporting ecosystem services, along with provisioning, regulating and cultural services. Oysters influence nutrient cycling, biodiversity, and food web dynamics. water filtration, habitat structure, Oyster reef habitats have been recognized as infrastructure for shoreline protection. green
Assimilation of nitrogen and phosphorus into shellfish tissues provides an opportunity to remove these nutrients from the water column.
