This is just a simple list of some of the types of poisons that come out of these harmful algal blooms shellfish poisoning,fish ciguatera, diarrheic shellfish poisoning you don't want to know about that neurotoxic shellfish poisoning, paralytic shellfish poisoning.

Reviving New York's rivers with oysters!

Can you eat raw oysters?

So the oyster was the basis for a manifesto like urban design project that I did about the New York Harbor called oyster tecture.

Fish and shellfish It is unsafe to store fish or shellfish without preservation.

We reinterpreted this life cycle on the scale of our sight and took the Gowanus as a giant oyster nursery where oysters would be grown up in the Gowanus, then paraded down in their spat stage and seeded out on the Bayridge Reef.

It can move from a fertilized egg to a spat, which is when they're floating through the water, and when they're ready to attach onto another oyster, to an adult male oyster or female oyster, in a number of weeks.

And finally, how much fun it would be to watch the flupsy parade and cheer on the oyster spats as they go down to the reef.

The most common food allergies in children are shellfish, nuts, eggs, wheat, and soy.

Finally, oysters can attenuate and agglomerate onto each other and form these amazing natural reef structures.

And already, commercial oyster larvae are dying at large scales in some places.

There are three types of dredges (a) The dredge can be dragged along the seabed, scooping the shellfish from the ground.

In fact I love the fact, I just have to mention this Rome in fact used to import oysters from London, at one stage. I think that's extraordinary.

So if we had some way to stop this scaling and so I picked up some shells on the beach. And I asked them, what is scaling? What's inside your pipes?

This cuisine is based on fresh vegetables, fish, oysters, mussels and other shellfish, and the wide range of hand made cheeses that are now being produced across the country.

And living amongst the tangle of tube worms is an entire community of animals shrimp, fish, lobsters, crab, clams and swarms of arthropods that are playing that dangerous game between over here is scalding hot and freezing cold.

So, he keeps on moving, approaching an unsuspecting waiter who is trying to deliver two plates of linguine in a delicate white wine clam sauce to diners who are sitting at a table just outside of a restaurant in the street.

Architect Kate Orff sees the oyster as an agent of urban change. Bundled into beds and sunk into city rivers, oysters slurp up pollution and make legendarily dirty waters clean thus driving even more innovation in oyster tecture. Orff shares her vision for an urban landscape that links nature and humanity for mutual benefit.

And the core idea of oyster tecture is to harness the biological power of mussels, eelgrass and oysters species that live in the harbor and, at the same time, harness the power of people who live in the community towards making change now.

You know, it's a silo, people in silos. They didn't know that the same thing was happening. So one of them thought about it and said, OK, well, if this is just crystallization that happens automatically out of seawater self assembly then why aren't shells infinite in size? What stops the scaling?
