Fishing for Eastern oyster

The eastern oyster is a bivalve mollusk with a rough, elongated, teardrop-shaped shell of two unequal, cupped valves, grayish-white to brown outside and pearly white within. It cements to hard surfaces in brackish estuaries and bays along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, forming dense reefs. The shell reaches about 14 inches. Once settled, it lives fixed and builds reef habitat. This summary was AI generated
