Hybridization and morphological differences between the two closely related oyster taxa Crassostrea angulata and C. gigas
Unlike in some crops, no large heterotic effects have been observed in most farmed animals. Interestingly, significant hybrid vigour for some traits has been reported in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas. Crossbreeding between closely related taxa can be seen as an efficient way to exploit the d...

Unlike in some crops, no large heterotic effects have been observed in most farmed animals.

Factorial crosses between the Portuguese oyster C. angulata (from Sado estuary, Portugal) and C. gigas (from Seudre estuary, France) were done to evaluate the aquaculture potential of hybrids.
