Oyster farming

article image placeholderUploaded by @zejacques
So from now we just leave them in the water and we will tumble them or maintain them I should say every two to three weeks I would say and in this baby stage when the waters are warm during spring and summer the oysters are growing very quickly so that's my little brief story. I hope you enjoyed it. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts and opinions. If you have any questions please put them here. My goal is educating as well community on oysters and aquaculture thank you. Bye

Hi, Jack. Wow, this was so cool to listen to. I don't know anything about oyster farming, so I do have a couple of questions. I didn't know it that I didn't know that there needed to be an oyster seed. I guess I didn't I didn't know that they're called seeds. I guess I assumed that oysters were animals, but now it sounds like they're more like plants. Yeah

I'm assuming that when you say tumble, you mean like you actually take them out, like, shake them around, I don't know, make sure they're not covered in barnacles or whatever so that they look nice enough to sell. Maybe I'm just guessing here, but maybe you could provide some insight on that. And then also, I had no idea that you could lease out a certain area of the ocean

I just replied to Jack Swell Jay. And I saw that you also had the same question as tumbling, so hopefully we can get to the bottom of this. But yeah, I also asked it and I didn't see that you asked it as well. But they do sound like plants, which is really interesting, sort of just plans it and let them do their own little thing, which I guess seems pretty cool and almost like a passive form of income, which is interesting

So when we bring them in we have to gauge the temperature, the numbers, where it's going, the date, the time and everything like that along with our permit number coming up to five minutes so let me know what you think or thought about that and any follow up questions but again, thanks for getting this ball rolling. I really want to share more about oysters and aquaculture as well

But good luck on your endeavors of oyster farming. That sounds like fun. Have you done other farming in the past or what else have you done? That's pretty cool that you chose this as a thing. I guess what inspired you guys to do oyster farming? Because, I mean, that's pretty cool. Cool. I look forward to hearing from you. Bye

You should look them up green wave.org. And they are pioneers of 3D modeling or multitropic farming. So you'd have the oyster cages on the bottom of the line in the water, and then down the line, you're growing the seaweed of the kelp. So they work in a symbiotic relationship. So while we wait for the legislation to come through, we figured we would get for the kelp. We figured we'd get started on oyster farming first

Yeah, I'm curious what the regulations around that are because I know there's so many benefits right from seaweed and kelp and I'm linking on exactly what I know it's healthy to eat seaweed. But yeah, I'm curious what you were hoping to do with the CBD and kelp as well. I know this is kind of going away from the oyster conversation, but I was thinking about seaweed and kelp

Perhaps sugar kelp is also there but I think the main crop at least growing in the wild is Bull Kelt bit similar to sugar kelp versus the native species in Australia is something strange Latin name like astrobogopolis and it's not exactly edible but you put it in feed for cattle and it drastically reduces their carbon emissions. So some seaweeds can be used for certain purposes
