Received a bag of Pacific oysters from Nisbet Oyster Company.

Four oysters were shucked and the following tissues were collected from each:

• ctenidia
• gonad
• mantle
• muscle

Utensils were cleaned and sterilized in a 10% bleach solution between oysters.

Tissues were stored briefly on wet ice and then stored at -80C in Rack 2, Column 3, Row 1
