The text discusses how oysters can change gender, being a protandric species with reproductive organs containing eggs and sperm, initially releasing sperm and later switching to eggs as they age.

No external evidence was found for the claims regarding oyster gender changes. Without professional fact-checks or corroborating web evidence, the claims regarding oysters being able to change gender, being protandric, and having both eggs and sperm must be treated as unverified. Such facts are common in biology, acknowledging that oysters can change sex, typically presenting male characteristics first and later female. However, in the absence of current evidence, the claims cannot be confirmed or refuted.
