- 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.

My buddies and I started our own oyster farm off the gulf coast in north west Florida in nice clean sand bottom water.This year will be our first year harvest.
Good idea since the prices are way up
Best of luck hope it goes well.
Good luck this is why I’m here, learning how good it is for the environment a true green company is hard to come by, mind providing any insights? Cost to start and stuff v curious (in nc)
We have done the same in Maine, it’s a lot of work but very rewarding
Hey can we get an update?
I’m just glad I live in a time when I can watch such wonderful documentaries whenever I want.
Or even more glad eat oysters whenever you want! 😂
Min 38:50 the guy on the motorcycle was sleeping in the middle of the road they had to wake him up by honking lmfao
It's interesting to see how oysters are harvested in different areas of the world. Good day everyone from a Malpeque oyster fisherman.
I've never liked oysters myself but what a great documentary
Heads up...
Try Fried!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one of the BEST documentaries I've ever watched. I am in Awe of Nature and its wonderful mysterious Oyster. Merci Boucoup
Love oysters. watching from Texas gulf coast, love the oysters, need to protect them.
Big thumbs up, from Newport, RI. We love our shellfish. Great video. Thank you!
Narragansett Bay is the Quahog capital of the world💪
Haven't thought about this oyster things before, nice documentary
Where I live, if you poach lobsters from someone else's pots, you won't get arrested after being ratted out by the "Mystery Lobster", you'll just get shot by an irate lobster fisherman.
I swear I've seen this before on TH-cam. This actually has come up a lot with documentaries on this channel...
The rose bush trick to identify deseas is awesome going to try on my garden he said the rose bushes always get attacked first that's how they know what is coming
When I lived in Norwalk, CT my apartment was down the street from H Bloom and Sons oyster farm and I was a volunteer at the Oyster Festival.
Really enjoyed this video & learnt so much about the oyster 😊
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.
And this is just Oysters, can you imagine other products? Collectively? :O
Who gives af let your grandchildren worry about it
They’re farmed in the US.
I was an oyster farmer in Coos Bay Oregon, what a hard but rewarding job!
@ 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.
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.
Similarly there are 40,000 different varieties of rice but only a couple dozen varietals are commercially grown.
They gotta put some tapatio a little bit of lemon and some pico de gallo 🔥
Send that fancy pants cook to Dixie for a lesson on opening them up. They will learn him a thing or two.
Very insightful.
Always a good documentary.
Well thats an interesting documentary ...
I used to go to this bar called the bearded oyster
I for one, love bearded clams.
Excellent Documentary...
I'll have the Royale...with cheese!
That's a tasty burger
Haaaaa Yes you will !!
Excellent documentary on oysters. Made me hungary
Very good documentary. Thank you.
1:54 High-end restaurant, but doesn't know how to shuck an oyster.
20:22 is how an oyster is best eaten
Now I crave some oysters. Next I'm off, I'll go buy some.
Eats the oyster throws out perfectly good shell for soup
38:49 Dude was sleeping on his bike lol
OMG!!! hey everybody look it’s damn Justin Timberlake ❗️❗️❗️ @ 12:10 dumping the white container lmaooo
A most excellent interesting video
A wonderful gift from our creator.
Just like kidney stones & cancer.
the story of the flat oyster is very similar to the American Chestnut here in the United States
Jus love em 💯🔥
They completely ignored and did not recognize the existence of the Sydney rock oyster native to Australia and famous around the Indo Pacific. Reportedly the best oyster in the world.
I’m not an eastern stater, I’ve seen a distant relative of the types shown, that are not as rounded, though sharp & of a rewarding flavour, especially away from contrived infrastructure 🏭 Oui 🌊
Bluff Oysters are worth a go. From clean south Atlantic nutrient rich waters
Dame that chef took his own life over a late delivery of oysters ?
Yeah and it wasn't even his fault the oysters were late. Must have been a really proud chef like a proud samurai.
He couldn't face the King like that. So he took himself out. Can't be me; I love breathing.
Or , he could have benn drawn and quartered and his remains fed to the dogs!!
100% naturally genetically modified oysters.
That doesn't sound too appetizing.
Foods that look like a disembodied vagina really don't do much for the eye either.
Everything you eat is modified now. Fruits, veg, protein.
very cool
Why would that asian guy even bother with those skinny translucent oysters?
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
Very informational... I live in Australia an Sydney rock oyster are small an tasty but the rock oyster in nzl are beautiful an big have u tried bluff oysters off the rocks so delicious
The hero we need
So we're do I get some good oysters
@@crabtastic7 new zealand 🇳🇿
Do you have an instagram, I am a fellow farmer/commercial fisherman. Would love to talk more about the oyster growing if interested
Muito bonito viveiro
I have to wait 4 years to eat an oyster 🤦🏼♂️….should I order today?
These generically modified "triploids" are poppin up in just about every direction you look.
You know who would have the greatest incentive to steal oysters from your farm? Other oyster farmers.
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.
Pacific oysters from New Zealand are the best, no doubt.
Pretty soon the 1.4 billion Chinese will eat the oysters to extinction.
There goes your oyster sauce

Too much background 'music.' can't take you seriously.
What about will they survive in polynesian island, like Samoa, Tonga... I mean oysters. Just test some if they survive.
50,000 tonnes is almost a kilo per person. So it's obviously a big Christmas thing for the French.
I’m so hungry now
The 4o years of ugly has created something not intended, IM now solid. you can not influence me or my decisions.
Poetry.
"The oceans are our gardens" yessss, but unfortunately in reality, "the oceans are our dumping grounds" ... ugh :( Lets hope humanity wakes up, and embraces/supports what we have, before we rape/pollute/kill it - don't mean to be negative , but hey
this has less than 1k views
Snot on the half shell...not for me
_mantep infonya._
👍
Poor Oysters being raised by humans only to be doomed and possibly eaten alive😔🙏🏾
That's how it goes. We atop the food chain. Do you keep the same energy when a lions tears up a baby impala? Well, don't. It's nature. We eat oysters, lions hunt down and eat their prey. Nothing wasted.
Oh COME ON!!😂 Is that REALLY the 1st thing u think of when u see n oyster?? Is that its wrapped nicely n naturally?!!🙄smfh this guy!! Lmdao too much!!🤡🤣
😄
China has huge oyster farms today this documentary is really old, China has 300,000,000 more people today so this documentary has to be from the year 1999/2000 because that year China's population reached over 1,283,190,000 or the guy didn't know what he was talking about 😂🤷🏻♀️
Yeah but didn't the Chinese merchant say that it's not safe to eat raw? Beside anything "imported" must be better than local products. 😃
My old girlfriend...
Makes mee
Eat them,,,

You won't believe this ,,,but I was a chuckar at the Morrie Pearl's restaurant in Quincy***

Fried Oyster Z
Light + delicious 😋
Toxic waste
😍😊👍
I prefer little necks…
I m from MAINE USA I never heard of little neck oysters?? Must be something the folks from Mass eat.
We have every right to destroy oysters. We are a superior species to them.
Well in that way rich people also are superior to poor and middle case people they should also have all the rights to exploit them in what way or form they like
@@adilshah7450 I absolutely agree with this.
