The oyster is a common Marine creature belonging to the bivalve group of the phylum mollusca. They usually grow in the coastal intertidal zone and shallow sea areas, with sediment and seawater as habitats. The shell of an oyster has a unique shape and texture, and the hard shell provides them with protection against predators and changes in the environment.
During the preparation of the specimen, the shell of the oyster is carefully cleaned and treated to retain its natural form and color. In the specimen display, the open side of the oyster often faces upward, and the audience can clearly see the brightness of the inside and the roughness of the outside, forming a strong contrast. The sheen on the inside of the oyster comes from the mother shell layer, giving a light and peaceful aesthetic.
Oysters are beloved not only by scientific researchers and collectors for their unique appearance, but also for the important role they play in the ecosystem. Oysters improve water quality by filtering suspended solids and provide habitat for other Marine life. In some areas, oyster habitat is considered an important part of the ecosystem, and changes in its population directly affect the diversity of Marine life.
Culturally and economically, oysters have a worldwide reputation as a delicacy, and people in many places regard them as a delicacy. Oysters are nutritious, rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, and have become the favorite of many seafood lovers. At the same time, the oyster farming industry is also growing, driving the growth of the local economy.
With increasing environmental concerns, oysters face many challenges to their survival, including Marine pollution, climate change, and habitat destruction. Therefore, it is increasingly important to protect oysters and the environment in which they live.
