The largest oyster in the world

the largest oyster in the world

In 2012, Richard mesce, a retired Navy pilot, found an oyster (33 cm in length and 15 cm in width) that was 13 inches long and 6 inches wide, setting a new world record as the largest oyster. Chad mesce guessed that it was about 80 years old.

But it's not the biggest oyster in the world. In 2013, a team of researchers from the Walden Sea Research Center in Denmark caught a giant oyster, which weighed 2kg and was about 35.5cm long. It was still alive when it was found, making it the largest oyster ever found. It is speculated that it may have grown for about 20 years.
