{ostreda} would be one fu'ivla coined from the taxon, Ostreidae.

In Chapter 3, we have a reference to an oyster which is translated
into lojban as {cakcurnu}.
 
I'd be inclined to have {cakcurnu} mean bivalve molluscs which
would include oysters, clams, mussels and scallops.  But then what
would we call an oyster specifically?
 
If we leave {cakcurnu} as 'oyster', then what lujvo or fu'ivla would
do for the remaing bivalve molluscs.
 
Any ideas?
