Great video- very informative and a bit funny too! The whole system they have in action is very impressive. Thanks for the great videos - keep ‘em coming!
There’s two reasons. First, this is a public resource “natural bed”, where the oysters set and commercials growers can get seed for grow out on their private grounds. Second, where oysters set heavy it is important to move them to more spacious areas so they can grow faster and better shaped. This will be covered in a future video so please subscribe!!!
This is where the oysters naturally set, so natural reproduction. If they beds were not worked thoroughly, the oysters would be crowded and not grow properly for a commercial food product. So by moving them and spreading them out they grow faster and better, and the following year the set has clean substrate to set on.
This is a managed “natural bed”, meaning it’s an area where oyster set very well and has been reserved for use by commercial growers to get seed. There is an area upriver that is off limits to any harvest so there will always be brood stock present to spawn. Also the dredge size and hand winding is helps regulate the harvest always leaving some oysters to reproduce. This could be a good follow up video thanks for the comment.
This is called Oyster Farming done since the early 1800s, an agricultural business. Empty shells are “vacuumed” off the bottom and stored in massive heaps on land then put back on the bottom before the oysters spawn. The clean shell gives the spat “baby oysters” a place set, (to grab on to). If left on the bottom, the old shell silts up leaving the drifting oysters no place to set. This fishing method is why there are so many oysters. ;-)

İki sebep var. Birincisi, bu, istiridyelerin yetiştirildiği ve ticari yetiştiricilerin kendi özel arazilerinde büyütmek için tohum alabildiği bir kamu kaynağı “doğal yatak”. İkincisi, istiridyelerin ağırlaştığı yerlerde, daha hızlı büyüyebilmeleri ve daha iyi şekillenebilmeleri için onları daha geniş alanlara taşımak önemlidir.

Thanks for watching!!! I’ll have some more videos this summer.
The Mary Colman is a beautiful Eastern Rig. I love Copps Island Oysters.
Amazing that these boats are 100 years old and still work hard. Yes they sure are pretty boats.
Norman Bloom and Son
Copps Island Oysters Best tasting Oysters in the world!
Thanks for watching. Will have some more oyster videos in the future. Please subscribe!!
The work of these people is interesting and hard!
Yes it is. Amazing how efficient these guys are though. Thanks for watching and please subscribe!!
Incredible how they use the water to plant the oysters
Even spraying down is hard work………
why do they move them somewhere else in the first place?

Some good ASMR
Wash down is especially satisfying.
Who plants the original oyster seeds at the mouth? Natural reproduction? Norm Bloom Co.? The state?
