What those cooler southern waters do bring to the oysters though is more longevity so more consecutive grafts can be had from the same oysters. I did some spearfishing down there a couple of years ago and found two wild oysters that were shockingly big. No-way-impossible kind of big and still happily growing. Amazing and I think nothing to do with the radioactivity but likely all to do with the cooler water. |
Very interesting! Too bad there aren't any spooky mutant oysters -- it would have made a good bedtime story for Slraep!
