No head, no advanced central nervous system, but a lot of power. These ocean heroes are great for the climate and we need more of them ASAP.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER: In the video, at 01:08, we mention that oysters have no organs. This is not true. Oysters do have organs and a heart, although they do not have an advanced central nervous system.

We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world - and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.

One thing DW missed is that the best location for the shells of consumed oysters is back into the water (and tidal height) they were harvested or naturally grow in. This creates a growing environment where free floating baby shellfish who are evolved to latch onto shells can further build the ecosystem in a positive feedback loop. Plus this increases the availability of calcium and other minerals present in shells for other shellfish to absorb over time. TLDR put empty shells back in ocean where they naturally grow... don't try the greenwash "cyclical" composting or manufacturing as they are likely worse for the environment

Of course, they are so good at reproducing and cleaning that they will completely change ecosystems, which would also kill all of their inhabitants and bring in new ones that can live there.

In Japanese drinking places called Izakaya like Hub, oysters are pretty much popular to eat them fresh, but we kind of consider that we might get sick or poisoned when eating them. so if there is no such worries, we eat a lot of shellfish such as oyster, mussles, bivalves. I wonder how much we can contribute the leftovers of those shellfishes into cleaning the oceans.

Seems like these could be used in waste water treatment plants as well. Such plants may need to be bigger, but they would need less chemical treatment. And one could even be left with more useful products. Their excrement sounds like a fantastic source to mine for nitrogen fertiliser. And then the various uses of the shells. If oysters farmed in such a way are not palatable to people, then it would definitely be useful for animal feed. For example. It could be used in aquaponics or fish farms. In such a way fresh water would not be needed for waste treatment either, but rather seawater. It should at least be an option relatively close to coastlines. Which are where the majority of people on Earth live.

Pollution is literally killing all of the native north american freshwater bivalves and no one seems to even notice them dying.

@DWPlanetA
@DWPlanetA Жыл бұрын
Thank you for your feedback. Acidification of water means that there are lower pH levels in the water (which means less carbonate) - this is an essential element that oysters rely on to build their shells. As acidity increases, shells become thinner and slows down their growth. It also increases their death rates. We try our best to put all the information in a 10 min KZfaq clip and also offer read more links in the description for extra information - so don't forget to read those papers!

Why did people in the past hunt everything down into extinction?? They seemed proud too, they did help in terms of feeding people at that timeframe but left nothing else for the future.. The world may be big but, nothing is infinite.

Isn't that exactly the opposite of what this video suggests? I mean, if sustainably farmed I guess it should be fine. As long as they replenish as fast as you farm them, but I don't think that's the case most places currently right?

@@0xszander0 The way we farm them we replenish the stocks at least as quickly as we harvest them. And the process of producing them absorbs carbon and also creates habitats for other species along with many other benefits.

There’s definitely cases where we attempt to eat invasive species. It’s a multipronged approach in the end. The mussels and oysters strike me more as us going “ya know, evolution spent millions of years making a creature which is really good at this function. Then we ate it to an extent where the population was too low to perform. So how about we just go and reverse that?” In other words: no need to reinvent the wheel.
