This paper gives the results of an expedition to Japan to find and return stocks of the Kumamoto oyster. The acknowledgements section thanks Sam King, a Pacific Hybreed investor, for a generous gift to the University of Southern California for travel costs for D. H. and subsequent analysis of calmodulin gene sequences.
