dc.description.abstract | Mangrove influenced estuarine habitats in the tropics favor the settlement of oysters and their larval stages, which protect them from strong waves and speedy currents. Shell structure in Bivalves form an important protective system. Description of the relationship between shell and soft body characteristics are essential in understanding ecological variations and productivity of oyster population. A total number of 627 oyster specimens were collected from different locations in Goa as a case study for their allometric relationships in the tropical estuary. Data described in the present document could be of importance in monitoring the health of natural oyster beds. It also serves a baseline for planning sustainable management and understanding the aquaculture potential of Crassostrea spp. in mangrove influenced estuarine habitats | |
