Don't think so, but we can make it painful if that's what you want?
I'm pretty sure this is just how they eat
they make pearls with the pain
Well you know what they say, can't make an omelet without excruciating pain
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.
Pollution easily kills shellfish. If anything, that’s an indication that they are clean and from clean places. Oysters feed of phytoplankton, not waste/garbage and pollution.
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 sea grass, and the small fish, which is good for the big fish and so on.
does this hurt the oyster
