Ostrea angasi superficially resembles Ostrea edulis and both species may be referred to with the name “flat oyster”. However, the two species do not occur naturally in the same geographic distribution. HabitatThis species is found in sheltered, silty or sand-bottomed estuaries at depths between 1 and 30 m. DietFlat oysters, like all other oyster species, are filter feeders, feeding on, and taking in anything small enough to be filtered in their gills. This may include plankton, microalgae or inorganic material. PredatorsOyster growers at Coffin Bay, South Australia have observed stingrays eating their experimental commercial stocks of Ostrea angasi.[1] Commercial harvestingExtensive oyster reefs in southern Australia were largely destroyed by over-exploitation during the 19th and early 20th Centuries. Oysters were dredged directly from the seabed.[2][3] In the 21st century, commercial oyster growers in southern Australia have started experimentally farming O. angasi as a means to diversify their businesses. This was prompted by other growers suffering massive stock losses of Crassostrea gigas resulting from outbreaks of Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS).[1] References1. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-06-14/high-export-hopes-for-forgotten-native-angasi-oyster/5520672|title=High export hopes for forgotten native Australian oyster|date=2014-06-14|newspaper=ABC News|access-date=2017-02-23|language=en-AU}} 2. ^National Library of Australia > Trove: Oyster beds.
