  • The Reality Behind Oyster Farmers | Mystery of the Oyster | Investigative Documentary from 2019
    Oysters first appeared on our planet 200 million years ago. People have been gathering them since prehistoric times and fossil traces prove that mankind has used them as a source of food since as far back as the Neolithic Age.
    2000 years later, they continue to appeal to gourmet dinners. Oysters hold a firm place in humanity’s history, and have always been a symbol of wealth and gastronomy, but how are they produced? Why is this peculiar product of the ocean so sought after?
    This documentary follows the fates and fortunes of the oyster farmers during their most stressful period of the year. It looks at the challenges of a profession that is at the mercy of the whims of nature, as well as the effects of human activity on the quality of the water. Alongside this, it uncovers the questions of the mortality of these oysters, which some people fear could lead to a large decline in their numbers.
    The oyster is nature’s treasure, wedged between the sea and the land this mysterious creature is an early-warning system for the health of our planet. To protect them is to protect all species for the generations of the future.

    I'm far from a screaming environmentalist, I'm almost on the opposite end, but really? Dredging the ocean floor for oysters, and flying oysters to China from France on jetplanes to keep the freshness? Really doesn't seem fitting for the climate crisis we're in now.

    @ 22:29 "There are only three species of oysters" is incorrect. The Olympia Oyster was not mentioned. It is the native oyster in the Pacific Northwest and it is still grown on a small scale.

    • @fireflies-fr
      @fireflies-fr 2 года назад

      There are actually over 200 different species of oysters spread throughout the world; however, just six are commercial harvested, grown, and sold. Different types of oysters, and the most common are Olympia Oysters, Kumamoto Oysters, European Flats (or Belon Oysters), Sydney Rock Oysters, Pacific Oysters, and Atlantic Oysters.

    If you knew what was down there in European coastlines you would think again. A dumping ground for WW1/2 wrecks, bombs and all sorts. No wonder they are so small - as are the other shellfish - compared to Australia and NZ and their clean unpolluted waters. Poisonous shellfish from UK waters are a huge risk.

    The best oysters are true Rock Oysters (Saccostrea cucullata), these encrustation forming grow only on rocks (spat attach only to rocks, never attach to shells or other objects); they are oceanic or coastal but well into the marine zones. The Sydney Oyster is the only species of the Saccostrea genus this is farmed but is a reef-forming oyster (attaches to other shells and objects). All other oysters either belong to the genus Ostrea (unattached) or Genus Crassostrea (also reef-forming). All oysters harvested in brackish waters, including the Sydney oyster, are of questionable quality from taste and health perspectives. Oysters are subject to depuration before eating raw - placing them in sterilized clean seawater to purge their guts and clean their gills of pathogenic microorganisms. The rest is marketing BS. The Portuguese oyster is found along the Goa (India) coast because they spread by attaching to the haul of ships during the Colonial era. The Japanese Oyster is thought to be the Portuguese oyster for the same reason. I know a thing or two because I have farmed a thing or two. Oysters and Caviar! Overall an informative and enjoyable presentation. Thanks
