An Arithmetic Index Based on Shell Height, Length, and Width, for Potential Selection of Soft-Body Wet Weight in Pacific Oyster, Crassostrea gigas
The Pacific oyster, one of the most widely grown bivalves, has a long commercial history, a large consumer base, and is one of the most important commercially cultured mollusks in the world. Only the soft body is edible therefore increasing the soft-body wet weight (SBWW) is the main breeding object...
