Magallana is a genus of true oysters (family Ostreidae)[1] containing some of the most important oysters used for food. Species in this genus have been moved from Crassostrea after it was found to be paraphyletic.[2][3]
Species
[edit]Extant species are:[1]
- Magallana angulata (Lamarck, 1819)
- Magallana ariakensis (Fujita, 1929) – Suminoe oyster
- Magallana belcheri (G. B. Sowerby II, 1871)
- Magallana bilineata (Röding, 1798) - Philippine cupped oyster
- Magallana dactylena (Iredale, 1939)
- Magallana dianbaiensis (J.-J. Xia, X.-Y. Wu, S. Xiao & Z. Yu, 2014)
- Magallana gigas (Thunberg, 1793) – Pacific oyster
- Magallana hongkongensis (Lam & B. Morton, 2003)
- Magallana markushuberi (Thach, 2018)
- Magallana nippona (Seki, 1934)
- Magallana saidii (Wong & Sigwart, 2021)
- Magallana sikamea (Amemiya, 1928) – Kumamoto oyster
- Magallana valentichscotti (Thach, 2018)
Species only known from the fossil record:[1]
- Magallana ingens (Zittel, 1865) †
Genetics
[edit]The genome of Magallana gigas has been recently sequenced[4] revealing an extensive set of genes that enable it to cope with environmental stresses.
