dbpprop:abstract
  • The Eastern oyster, Atlantic oyster, or the Virginia oyster, Crassostrea virginica, is a species of oyster that is native to the eastern seaboard and Gulf of Mexico coast of North America. It is also farmed in Puget Sound, Washington, where it is known as the Totten Inlet Virginica. Eastern oysters are and have been very popular commercially. Today it is thought that less than 1% of the original population that existed in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries when the original colonists arrived in the seventeenth century remains, although population estimates from any era are uncertain. The Eastern oyster is the state shellfish of Connecticut, and its shell is the state shell of Virginia and Mississippi.
  • Die Amerikanische Auster (Crassostrea virginica) ist die zweitwichtigste Austernart mit einem Weltmarktanteil von 5,1 Prozent (2003). Sie heißt auf Französisch Huître (creuse) américaine und auf Englisch American (cupped) oyster.
