	Crassostrea Rhizophorae ''Crassostrea rhizophorae'', also known as the mangrove cupped oyster, is a species of bivalve in the family Ostreidae. ''C. rhizophorae'' is one of the predominant oyster species in the South Atlantic, specifically in Central and South America. It is often found in the vast mangrove ecosystem along the coast of Brazil. Environment ''C. rhizophorae'' is typically found in the intertidal or shallow subtidal regions of tropical mangroves and other estuarine regions. The optimal vertical range for ''C. rhizophorae'' is between 1.0 m and 1.5 m above the 0.0 m level of spring tides. At greater depths, the substrate is too soft for the oysters to settle and the pressure from predators like crabs and fish is too extreme. Above 1.5 m, ''C. rhizophorae'' will not settle due to extensive exposure time. Due to the narrow vertical band that ''C. rhizophorae'' inhabits, species survive best when securely fixed on rocks, hard substrates, and on mangrove roots, such as the aerial roots of t ...

	Crassostrea Tulipa ''Crassostrea tulipa'', the West African mangrove oyster, is a true oyster in the family Ostreidae. Habitat/distribution The mangrove oyster is found in tropical The tropics are the regions of Earth surrounding the equator, where the sun may shine directly overhead. This contrasts with the temperate or polar regions of Earth, where the Sun can never be directly overhead. This is because of Earth's ax ... intertidal zones. It grows on the bark of the stilt sections of mangrove trees, which are exposed during low tides and covered during high tides. It can also be found on some other suitable intertidal substrates in its range. This oyster has evolved to survive exposed to the air during low tides. The mangrove oyster is found on West African shorelines. References tulipa Bivalves described in 1819 {{Ostreidae-stub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
