question. What is the taxonomic designation for the native oysters in
the vicinity of Morro Bay? I thought it was Ostrea lurida, but someone
else said "Ostrea conchophila"; I have never heard of this species--
have the taxonomic designations for this species changed recently? This
is for a publication, so we would really like to get it right.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
