| Notes |
Authority: The genusname Crassostrea is stated as valid by the ICZN (Op. 338). [details] Classification: A few Russian authors have created a new family for the genus Crassostrea: Crassostreidae Scarlato & Starobogatov, 1979 (Scarlato, 1981). Unlike Vokes (1967), Chiplonkar & Badve (1979) and Harry (1985) who stated that Crassostreaand Ostrea belong to one family (different tribi). The last 4 authors are followed.
