Hi, everyone! This is an interesting article about giant oysters. I wounder what the species is. This may be Crassostrea gigas, as "Pacific oyster" was mentioned. http://uk.businessinsider.com/this-oyster-weighs-nearly-2kg-and-is-served-in-a-restaurant-in-australia-2015-8?ref=yfp Any comments or a different identification?
