The water in each tank was taken from the same body of water at the same time.
The only difference is that one tank also contains oysters. A single adult oyster can filter and clean up to 50 gallons of water every day.

Interesting and informative good share....dont need to eat oysters....meh...
Growing up on Long Island, seafood is a way of life. Oysters are little salty gems, add a little horseradish sauce and I am a happy woman.
Because not everything appeals to every taste. I can't stand blue cheese but every darned place that has wings serves em up with it. I have to ask for ranch dressing or some such.

Thing is, they farm them. Go to South Louisiana some time. I don't feel bad about eating something that's farmed. You won't find me running out to kill or eat something on the endangered species list. I usually do my "hunting" at the supermarket.
I'm a Texan. If there isn't a steak to go with it, it can't possibly be food. But to each his own.
My guess would be the point is, the value of oysters on the environment vs eating them. And I LOVE clams and they do the same thing. They filter the water.

Never considered eating oysters or any related mollusks. Considering that many are bottom feeders who spend their adult processing the wastes of other sea creatures.
Oysters:They are low in fat, calories and cholesterol in addition to being high in protein, iron, omega 3 fatty acids, calcium, zinc and vitamin C.
Not many care for much more than the *all important* 'can i stuff it in my face?' question.
If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.
Oysters & Clams are damn fine eating! Smoked oysters are even better.
I don't really go for fish, either, except Halibut... and I know they are a bottom feeder, along with Lobster & Crab. I guess I have a fetish for bottom feeding critters!
