That was so interesting and educational. I loved learning about this process, I had no idea. Yes, it looks like it takes a lot of love and care to farm and harvest oysters. Won't take this for granted next time we order oysters at the restaurant :) Thanks for all you do! Debbie - BluWave Odyssey

[@JR-gj1xz]

With the tide being out for 3 hours how do the oyster not get cooked by the sun? I’m also going by what you said about the 2 hour time you have to get them on ice and refrigerated. Thanks… awesome video!

[@elginb]

After six months, the oysters are shoveled out to sea to plant them 4:57. Do they fall inside baskets 6:04 where they grow until is time to harvest? What’s the process of collecting them and putting them into crates 6:20?

[@stevieoutdoorsman3273]

Very Interesting

Very interesting sir , May I know how do we generate a baby (Like a grand of sand ) osyster, is there any technic.please do let me know .

[@VoonChile]

John this was fantastic. Really enjoy these type of videos. Do you ever have to worry about anyone stealing your bushels in the water?

[@WILLITGROW]

hi voon no i dont worry about that because its so many that it would be hard to steel with out being caught.

[@VoonChile]

@@WILLITGROW Oh that's good!

[@marshamillano1769]

Sir i am from the philippines..as i cqn see u have a good process of breeding oyster as i can in our place is that they tread the oyster empty shell and leave there so the oyqter stick in the empty she but.. as i can see it more wasteful ...

[@spanzek]

But where do the babies come from. How are they produced?

[@WILLITGROW]

hi scott the babies we produce them in a lab.

[@auridenna]

So interesting, thank you for sharing! The world is a magical place. How do you keep birds from going to town on the oysters is what i'm wondering?

[@WILLITGROW]

well the birds find that its to much work to break an oyster for such small reward.

Very interesting! We had oyster beds across the bay at a house we lived in in Texas. Just fascinating John! Do you eat oysters?

[@WILLITGROW]

Hi Jan yes I do eat them.

[@212acres3]

Nice video.

[@212acres3]

Dang those grow fast!

[@212acres3]

need a conveyor belt to put those in the ocean.

[@212acres3]

This was cool process on the life of an oyster. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@flylooper]

I live in Oregon and we have a huge oyster industry along our coast. Ocean acidification (from too much CO2 in the ocean) is having a huge negative effect on oyster farming as the pH of the ocean becomes more acid. What about the East Coast?

[@BensenKSites]

Do you know where can I buy the huge oyster seeds ?

[@flylooper]

@@BensenKSites I don't! Probably best to search the internet.

[@vmsvlogs4309]

Hello! can you guide me to produce single seed oyster Crassostrea belchery in Vietnam?

[@FamilyTravelandExcursions]

Love the oyster videos!! How long is the tide out when you did the pre harvest?

[@WILLITGROW]

thank you for watching! the tide goes out for about 3 hours.

[@FamilyTravelandExcursions]

@@WILLITGROW Thankyou

[@homesteadaquarius]

4th! 😂

[@geotrippin973]

Ay Lou!

[@masterbilllauer8531]

it takes 2yrs to grow a oyster right???

[@WILLITGROW]

for sure it can take that long for most oyster farmers' do it in 14 months.

Daymm , if I was the size of a GI Joe doll ,I'd be happy !

[@mathewhobson]

It's actually 1 lifecycle and 4 stages. Maybe there are different lifecycles for different species but not in the video. That farming method looks incredibly destructive to the floor bottom, since when they want to retrieve the oysters they will probably drag nets along the bottom please correct me if I am wrong. They should consider to grow the oysters on floating drags, hanging ropes or any other of the modern techniques used.

[@howardharaway2259]

Gotta hypothetical question. Can you convert a inground swimming pool into a oyster bed ? Another question is, what is the going price per oyster from where you live ? I live between N.E.Philly and Trenton ,Nj and my Shoprites charge $1.50-$1.75 a piece AND they are NOT very good looking oysters. Alot are on the small side . I can also get Small oysters for $13. Per Doz. I envy you. Lol Luuuuuv dem Oiysta's ! 😋😎☝👍
