In the Netherlands the endemic European flat oyster, as well as the exotic Pacific oyster are farmed and fished. The Pacific oyster was introduced after the endemic oysters disappeared in the 60’s due to overfishing and disease. The Pacific oyster fastly spread across north-western Europe and forms reefs at many places. There are many names for oysters depending on size, species and origin.
