Don’t think so, but we can make it painful if that’s what you want?
platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Can they scream? If not, can we make that happen?
theodewere@kbin.social 11 months ago
they make pearls with the pain
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Well you know what they say, can’t make an omelet without excruciating pain
100_percent_a_bot@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m pretty sure this is just how they eat
Gladaed@feddit.de 11 months ago
Not really. You probably should avoid putting heavily polluted water through them though. They are the oceans waste buckets for poo water.
I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 11 months ago
One of many reasons I don’t eat shellfish.
dantheclamman@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.

okay but how do i stop myself from eating the mollusk?
LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Oh, shucks
moriquende@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Eating the mollusk will enable you to drink the dirty water and have it filtered in your very own guts.
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months 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?
Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Never buy a product based on a promise of a future update
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
it will, but please do not eat the oysters. However, even the oysters cannot save your from nanoplastics.
dantheclamman@lemmy.world 11 months 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

The 800 number is missing a digit. Now how am I supposed to get my oyster?
Leeks@kbin.social 11 months ago
Well there’s only 10 options, try them all! (For science)
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah but that’d be giving in to Pierre Jules Cesar Janssen and we can’t be having that

227? I got 2x 230. They always make it so that it is just too little so you buy another one! Slimy scammers!

What do you recommend for a 1000L IBC tank?
dantheclamman@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You might find it hard in a closed system to maintain the alkalinity needed for them to thrive long-term! Source: I study bivalves

Would a little agricultural runoff help?
crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s a big ass bucket
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
All good, but it’s gotta be salt water. I guess I can use it to boil pasta or blanch vegetables…
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 months ago
How about mussels? Can they filter water?

Do freshwater oysters exist?
My freshwater tank looks like that one on the left after 10 days. Only 2 tetras and it’s 7gallon
dantheclamman@lemmy.world 11 months 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
Masshuru@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Thank you, magical clam knowledge provider!
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Zebra mussels. Just grab em off any passing fishing boat cuz none of those bastards are cleaning up and they’re spreading them everywhere.

Sounds like you need two oysters
