It can live up to 30 years and like all bivalves, it changes sex from time to time, depending on the temperature of the water and its diet.

The most famous oysters are the French ones from Marennes , which are green oysters and  from Arcachon, followed by  the Portuguese and the Galician ones. Most of the oysters consumed come from farms.

They are bought alive.
