Perhaps Bivalves really are the most underrated animals. Interesting to think how many times I've walked past thousands of shells on the beach without thinking about the animals they came from.
I recall reading/hearing about Oysters and Clams being happiest just off the sewage treatment plant outfall pipes. They get nutrients and plankton that they needed to prosper and grow, leaving a body of clean seawater. I've also read that bivalves can clean up New York City's lower East River waters just by being there.
I watch you from Uruguay South America . I adore your videos . In my previous life I wanted be marine biologist . I watched in T.V to Jacques Custeau when I was a kid . Greetings from Uruguay
Such a cool video, the ocean has some really cool things in it, and it's really awesome. Me and a group would love get ideas from you on how to build a model that will collect plastic from the ocean, to help restore it .
There is some data that suggests that eating more things like bivalves from sustainable farms is much more environmentally sustainable than other types of protein-rich foods. But of course there are areas where they are overharvested, so it always has to be done in moderation. =)
here in Rio the growth of mollusks is used to measure the living condition of animals in Guanabara bay. when the waters are relatively clean bivalves become more common, but when the waters are specially bad, gastropods tend to take over.
In the estuaries of Tagus and Sado river, a new species of bivalve has been acidentally introduced. It is so effective in filtering the water, that the ecosystem as changed from exporting biomass, to a biomass sink.
I love the secret oyster project in the moray firth in Scotland. I have family there and used to go dolphin watching a lot as a kid but I can’t remember a time where the water was anything other than muddy. It is a tidal estuary but if I’ve learnt anything about oysters, it doesn’t need to be so murky!
Dont know if you still exist or post, or do reactions, but theres a channel i found from my mom that sometimes does videos on aquatic creatures called Ze Frank with a series called True Facts, mostly about animals. I just wanted to recommend some channel for future videos or etc, but on another note, love the channel!
Me and my FLL Lego robotics group would like get your feedback on how to get a robot model that will collect plastics and withstand ocean sea pressures. We would love to get some ideas or tips from you !
Hi seandme from across the world I recommend if you ever feel lost in your career please return to your country Portugal or is it Brazil? Reconnect with the trees I was also lost and I found my way through nature but through different forms such as first the ocean here in California then the desert, the snow, and now the forest 🍀
can I ask u a question? I saw your instagram account and found out you’re from 🇵🇹 living in 🇮🇹, may I ask you what made you make this decision? I’m from Italy and l’m interested in marine science and marine biology and l think it’s what l’m going to study in university…but l don’t want to do it here in Italy, I want to leave so bad, I would like to learn about it in Australia, and hope I can volunteer before deciding what my profession will be in marine science 🫶🏼🫶🏼.
Probably. We still don't really know what happens. Also, there are some species that seem to immediately expel back some microplastics into the water , of certain sizes. There is still a lot we don't really know.
Legit question: Are Bivalves the only animal group that we humans get to see primarily dead? I mean, the majority of times All of these animals are already deceased and i bet that Out of All people who have seen one in nature, more than half of them never sah one actually being alive
hello.... its me again... dk if you remember me... im the girl who shift from economic side to science side(marine science).... successfully did my A level... starting my degree july next year..... however i badly need your advice😢... i wanna work in marine animal care in aquarium.... googles says do a doctor of vet but most students from uni and lots of students on net says it doesnt help... it only landed them with a job with domestic and farmed animal... hope you see my message and able to help... waiting and relying on advice🥺 p.s my course is a four year integrated bsc and msc in marine science... i wanna to something more to get this job...
One needs to check where they come from if you want to eat them. There are places even around the UK where you don't want to eat local produce. My question always was: If they filter out a lot of pollutants, then what? Everything that's not in the shell gets back into the system. All that are eaten (predators and on land) will just deliver those pollutant to the consumer.
Yes, definitely. It's important to only consume bivalves from monitored sources. As for where the pollutants go, it depends on what chemicals we are talking about. For example, excess nutrients are transferred to the sediments and can be metabolized by bacteria and enhance their activity, which can also not necessarily be a good thing. There is still quite a lot we don't know yet

I know! Most of the times me too.

Bivalves are the coolest animals, I'm glad you're teaching others about how cool they are!

ever since I learned what clams, oysters, muscles, and etc do, Ive stopped eating them to let them do their job.

after seeing blueworldtv do a lil bit of bivalves its nice to get a deeper dive on them

Yeah, they are great bioindicators.

The Cambrian is always going to fascinate me (:
Me too! The Cambrian explosion!
keep em coming miss!
it’s time.
Soupnautica has returned…
You must join those that react to the trailer.
Great and very interesting video! Please continue doing this kind of videos!😍
Thanks Maria 😃👍

btw very cool video
Amazing video

What time do you call this - it is 23:30 and well past bedtime but I must watch your great videos - thank you for making them and sharing them with us
i heard shrimps are good bioindicators of water purity, if they live in water it safe for drinking
Subnutica 2 trailer got launched some reactions 😀
Let's also address the MASSIVE spike in underwater heat from volcanism over there and other areas. No one wants to address it but it's happening.
Citation needed.
Good morning!
Good evening, still, in Portugal and the UK.
can I ask u a question? I saw your instagram account and found out you’re from 🇵🇹 living in 🇮🇹, may I ask you what made you make this decision?

Mollusks are just cool lol
Agreed!
Would be very interested about your thoughts on SpaceX reusing their boosters instead of dumping them in the ocean.
Hey, Maria. I have a video idea for you. Can you please react to octonauts?
❤
SUBNAUTICA 2!!!!!!!! 🌊🔥💥🌊
If they absorb microplastics, do they just release them again when they decompose?
Probably. We still don't really know what happens. Also, there are some species that seem to immediately expel back some microplastics into the water , of certain sizes. There is still a lot we don't really know.
So you guys all know: Maria wants you to go vegan by filter feeding. And I gotta admit, this video did make me hungry.
Is she anti meat
Legit question:

hmmm good question. From the top of my head, I can't think of any other animals that appear dead as prevalent as bivalves.

SUBNAUTICA 2 TRAILER JUST DROPPED🔥‼️💯👤✨
totally unrelated comment from the video. Maria, have you reacted to the new Subnautica 2 trailer/teaser??

@@Seamemaria Could the plastic-digesting bacteria be digestive tract symbiotes of bivalves rather than free-swimming bacteria?
@@Seamemaria Thanks!
What kind of Accent do you have
You want to mutate them to eat plastic, don't ya? 😈
