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.

It's interesting to see how oysters are harvested in different areas of the world. Good day everyone from a Malpeque oyster fisherman.
This is one of the BEST documentaries I've ever watched. I am in Awe of Nature and its wonderful mysterious Oyster. Merci Boucoup
Haven't thought about this oyster things before, nice documentary

Always a good 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.
Very good documentary. Thank you.
Really enjoyed this video & learnt so much about the oyster 😊
Very insightful.
Love oysters. watching from Texas gulf coast, love the oysters, need to protect them.
I was an oyster farmer in Coos Bay Oregon, what a hard but rewarding job!
Excellent Documentary...
Jus love em 💯🔥
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.
A most excellent interesting video
very cool
I swear I've seen this before on KZread. 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
Well thats an interesting documentary ...
Excellent documentary on oysters. Made me hungary
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.
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.

@ 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.

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.

Bluff Oysters are worth a go. From clean south Atlantic nutrient rich waters
the story of the flat oyster is very similar to the American Chestnut here in the United States

Pacific oysters from New Zealand are the best, no doubt.

Everything you eat is modified now. Fruits, veg, protein.
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.
These generically modified "triploids" are poppin up in just about every direction you look.
I have to wait 4 years to eat an oyster 🤦🏼♂️….should I order today?

The 4o years of ugly has created something not intended, IM now solid. you can not influence me or my decisions.
What about will they survive in polynesian island, like Samoa, Tonga... I mean oysters. Just test some if they survive.
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

Pretty soon the 1.4 billion Chinese will eat the oysters to extinction.

"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

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 😂🤷🏻♀️
