In this course you learned that male and female oysters release their gametes into the water at the same time, such that the eggs are fertilized randomly. After fertilization, the embryos develop into millions of tiny free-swimming larvae before they settle down and attach to a hard surface to become mature oysters over time. Which life history type do oysters have?
Syed H.
Oysters are iteroparous and long-lived, and at each reproductive event, they produce thousands of larvae that have a very low chance of making it to the adult stage. What survivorship curve corresponds to oyster life history? Type I Type II Type III

Oysters can be found in both light, medium, and dark colors. Light-colored oysters are prevalent in shallows because they blend into the rocks and sand. The darker oysters are usually found in the deeper water because they blend better into the shadows. Oysters with medium coloring are less common because they show up against either backdrop, making them easier prey. What type of selection is exemplified by these oysters?
