Ostreoidea is a taxonomic superfamily of bivalve marine mollusc, sometimes simply identified as oysters, [1] containing two families. The ostreoids are characterized in part by the presence of a well developed axial rod. [2]
The Ostreidae, the true oysters, include most species of molluscs commonly consumed as oysters. Pearl oysters are not true oysters, and belong to the order Pteriida . Like scallops , true oysters have a central adductor muscle , which means the shell has a characteristic central scar marking its point of attachment.
