| Notes | The Kumamoto oyster is closely related to the Pacific oyster, which was preferred by Japanese oyster growers. The Kumamoto oyster was virtually extinct in Japan, but could still be found on the U.S. West Coast. The purpose of the workshop was to develop advocacy and methods to preserve the Kumamoto oyster and its genetic diversity. |
