Abstract

In this research, the possibilities of obtaining larva from oysters (Ostrea edulis L.) living in the Black Sea and their metamorphosis stage were investigated. There were no difficulties in obtaining larvae. The results of this investigation indicate that flat oyster (Ostrea edulis L.) culture is possible in Black Sea conditions.
