California had a longtime family run oyster farm on Drakes Bay in Marin County, that purified the water and left the bay cleaner on a daily bases; but some ignorant activists who claimed to care about the environment;, but had no understanding of the benefits oyster farming had on the bay, started whining in opposition to this environmentally friendly oyster farming operation, until they finally got their way and had the longtime business shutdown and removed from the bay, resulting in no benefit to the environment, or to the community. Ignorance and activism are a dangerous combination!

Oyster shells should be recycled back into the water to help promote oyster growth. It’s going to take about a million to kickstart this type of business. I know because a friend of mine invested in one here in the Bluffton, 25 minutes north of Savannah. His mom having a dock already says a lot about how much he saved in upstate costs, and his parents most likely had some type of wealth and probably helped him along the way.

I just know they grow better on old shells and our county has collection spots for shells and somehow reintroduces them into the river beds to promote faster growth. Also. These are tidal rivers.

A lot of people who get into this kind of business with fast cash in mind are the ones who often fail. A similar case would be crayfish boom and bust. A lot of people got into the crayfish farming biz and then that exploded supply. People who were in it for fast cash dropped out quickly but people who did it for actual livelihood, tradition, and community stuck around and recovered once those resource exploiters dropped out.

Oysters release enzymes and harbor certain food safe bacteria that break down organic environmental pollutants, but when the oysters detect heavy metals or other non organic pollutants it will close and protect itself thus signaling to you the presence of such contaminants. It's also not difficult for us to detect contaminants because well the methods to do so are cheap. For instance there is a chemical that changes colors in response to certain heavy metals. that color is visible to our naked eye but to really understand the exact amount and type of metal you can run it through a spectrometer to get exact specific results.

Oysters rely on an innate immune system, which means they have basic mechanisms to fight off pathogens but lack the adaptive immune response found in more complex animals. They use cells called hemocytes to engulf and destroy bacteria and other pathogens through a process called phagocytosis. Oysters produce antimicrobial peptides that can help kill or inhibit the growth of certain bacteria. Oysters sold commercially are usually harvested from regulated waters that are monitored for pollution levels. Authorities close these areas if contamination exceeds safe levels. This is a process where oysters are placed in clean, monitored water for a period before being sold. This allows them to purge contaminants from their systems. Cooking oysters can kill harmful bacteria and viruses, making them safer to eat. However, this does not remove heavy metals or chemical contaminants.

He was saying when the wild oysters started clinging to his product it was unsalable. They could’ve gone back through the tumbler and sold locally to the community in a set weight sack. Here we can buy sacks of oysters as wild harvested that may sometimes contain two or three in a lump. They are cheaper than each individual oyster sack. As long as he’s not losing money it’s still profit for the company and many households love this once a month/two products

You should learn how to apply for carbon credits. If you are successful and can sell them, it would triple your income.

I’m retiring in the Philippines. I’m on the banks of a Bay Area. Much like Chesapeake and others. I have rivers etc. There is commercial fish farming here. Tell me where to learn this please.

The challenge is in getting the baby oysters in a country without an existing industry. The start up costs might be high , but the chance to export to china might be a great opportunity for you.

Really interesting as I didn't know the first thing about oysters. Not sure if i missed it, but how do they cope with environmental stuff ? I know oyster filter water and clean it, but assume water quality has to be monitored and product checked for toxins? Is it not like fish farming where you have to deal with waste / disease as well?
@UpFlip
@UpFlip Ай бұрын
Great questions! They can filter water and help maintain water quality, but you're right; monitoring environmental conditions is crucial.
