    does this hurt the oyster

      Don’t think so, but we can make it painful if that’s what you want?

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

      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.

      Eating the mollusk will enable you to drink the dirty water and have it filtered in your very own guts.

    • hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Let it filter the water and eat it afterwards.

    Will it take care of the nano-plastics for me or is that an upcoming firmware update?

      Never buy a product based on a promise of a future update

      source
    • Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      it will, but please do not eat the oysters. However, even the oysters cannot save your from nanoplastics.

      source
    • dantheclamman@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      They are confirmed to be able to gather nano-plastics as larvae, and microplastic as adults, though no studies have looked at nanoscale particles in adult oysters from what I could find. They may ingest the plastic or package it up in mucus to expel as “pseudofeces”, trapping the plastic particles in the sediment. Source: I study bivalves

    Do freshwater oysters exist?

    My freshwater tank looks like that one on the left after 10 days. Only 2 tetras and it’s 7gallon

    source
    • dantheclamman@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It’s generally seen as pretty hard to maintain filter-feeding bivalves long-term in an aquarium tank, in terms of diet (diverse phytoplankton), pH/alkalinity, and substrate (many are pretty specific in terms of conditions in which they burrow). You might have better luck with Corbicula sp. (“Asian clams”) which are quite generalist in their food, even being able to deposit feed by scraping the substrate. They are however quite invasive, so please don’t release them into the wild! Oysters on the other hand are usually found in mostly brackish or fully marine conditions, and would likely not be able to thrive long-term in fully fresh water. Usually they can only survive short bouts of freshening. Source: I study clams

      Zebra mussels. Just grab em off any passing fishing boat cuz none of those bastards are cleaning up and they’re spreading them everywhere.
