Well you know what they say, can’t make an omelet without excruciating pain
100_percent_a_bot@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m pretty sure this is just how they eat

Not really. You probably should avoid putting heavily polluted water through them though. They are the oceans waste buckets for poo water.

One of many reasons I don’t eat shellfish.
ImFresh3x@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Pollution easily kills shellfish. If anything that’s an indication that they are clean and from clean places.
Gladaed@feddit.de 10 months ago
More for me.
Shell fish is not to be harvested after storm water events due to the increased fecal matter/particulate content of rivers. So I should be good.

Yes, it can. It can clog their gills, making their feeding less efficient, or interfere with their reproduction through chemicals that leach from the plastic particles. Source: I study bivalves

Oysters actually need clean/unpolluted water. What they eat and clean is sediment, phytonutrients, and phytoplankton. Well at least that’s what I was tood by an oyster farmer. They clear the water which is good for the grass, and the small fish, which is good for the big fish and so on.

Don’t think so, but we can make it painful if that’s what you want?
platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Can they scream? If not, can we make that happen?
ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Ohh for sure, we can do that, you want just “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRHRHRHRHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” type of basic scream or you want it to go into specific details on where and how it hurts, both at the right decibel to not cause pain to the human listener, but loud enough to be heard at a distance.
