The Eastern Oyster
(Crassostrea virginica) |
Classified Information
Kindgom Animalia
Phylum Mollusca
Class Pelecypoda or Bivalvia
Order Lamellibranchia
Family Filibranchia
Genus Crassostrea
species virginica
Biologically Speaking
Range:
Along the coast of North America from the Gulf of the St. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico. It has also been introduced to Hawaii, the West Coast of North America, and other locations worldwide.
Oysters are typically found in estuaries, sounds and bays, from brackish water to very salty lagoons. They are very tolerant organisms, being able to withstand wide variations in temperature, salinity, suspended sediments, and dissolved oxygen. In the Bay, oysters are usually found in areas that have over 5ppt salinity.
Feeding:
Oysters are filter-feeders, drawing water in over its gills through the beating of cilia. Suspended food (plankton) and particles are trapped in the mucus of the gills and transported to the mouth, where they will be eaten, digested and expelled as feces or pseudofeces. Feeding activity is greatest in oysters when water temperatures are above 50°F (~10°C).
Reproduction:
Oysters spawn when water temperatures become greater than 68°F (~20°C). They are broadcast spawners, releasing eggs and sperm into the water column. Fertilized eggs develop into a planktonic or swimming larval form. After about two weeks these larvae will "set", a process of cementing themselves to a hard substrate, and metamorphose. This newly attached oyster is known as a "spat".
Defense:
Mollusks, like many other invertebrates, have an open circulatory system that does not confine hemolymph (blood) to traditional vessels like veins, arteries, and capillaries. Instead, an open circulatory system will circulate hemolymph through a number of cavities and sinuses in various parts of the organism. In an oyster, the hemolymph is circulated in this way and can be readily found in the pericardial cavity that contains the heart. Within the hemolymph of the oyster there are three basic types of hemocytes that perform a wide variety of functions from defense to nutrient transport.
A readily found hemocyte known as a granulocyte can make a very impressive showing under oil immersion light microscopy. These hemocytes appear to be filled with small "grains" and have long pseudopodia that extend from the outer surface of the cell. The pseudopodia are used for mobility and the capture of foreign bodies and disease causing organisms like dermo, Perkinsus marinus.
Challenging Chesapeake
Oysters have been around for millions of years – they were used for food, tools, weapons and decoration. During the early 1600s in the Chesapeake region, oyster bars were so numerous and large, that they were reported as navigation hazards by Captain John Smith. Today, the state of the oyster fishery in the Chesapeake has dwindled to less than one percent of its historical mass. Key reasons for this decline include:
- Overharvesting
- Habitat Destruction
- Disease
- Sedimentation and pollution
Reef Reality
Oysters are the building blocks of one of the most important benthic communities found in Chesapeake Bay, The Oyster Bar. Formed as a result of years of oyster production and settlement in concentrated areas, bars have become home to a complex assemblage of plants and animals.
Benefits of oyster reefs to Chesapeake Bay include:
- Providing solid structure within the water column for sessile organism attachment (i.e., barnacles, sea anemones)
- Creating homes and hiding places for organisms seeking refuge from predation (i.e., polychaete worms, soft-shell blue crabs)
- Providing spawning substrate (i.e., gobies, blennies, skilletfish)
- Stablizing bottom sediments for benthic organisms and aquatic plants (i.e., hard clams)
- Concentrating prey (food) species for larger predator fishes (i.e., striped bass)

Oh Oysters of love
nestled deep below, building your reefs temples of light and tao
opening and closing guardians of the watery realms
wise knowers of secrets, with natural helms
may you be ever fruitful and happy in life, for when you are joyful so is the sea joyful
when you open and shine your pearly light
like tiny stars sunken in the night
all the worlds gather around you, we reach for your radiance,
dissolved and cleansed by aural tides
defended by providence, the undines have come now to meet the faeries of land
earth water and air, a fiery band
we send our love there as you have to us, a spontaneous right action in our souls combusts
we all go through a waning, but now we rise again, all as one, amalgamated and whole without and within
oysters, your beds under the sea, most comfy for mermaids and a delight for algae
often times i have climbed within the waves, left my face open
and dug deep, each time, i have been blessed, now i send this back to you
watery friends, forever true

metaphorically, i suppose it all has a purpose in that its breaking down, building up, etc and seemingly nothing is happening, but it seems different now just to look into the clouds and the lake and maybe it is a manmade lake and this is why everything is stopped up but all the water is connected and even man made it still maintains the connection through the air and pretty much everywhere really, but not EVERYWHERE
thats why water is so amazing i could use it a lot, oh well, i respect whats happening even though i'm dying no one seems to care i kill myself with words i find oysters in my hair i am not a bear i live in the sum of equality faltering like skateboarders, seeking the parsnips and the roots, why? i was born into this apparently some notion of momentum, but even before, it must have been just like walking through a door and a door and whats on the other side of all of these doors could it be so far removed, maybe its a storm the runs so deep, even in my dreams it comes back, and then there are smiles ,so torn against myself, i look and i say well perhaps i shall shatter now, and the beauty of it is that, shattered can be whole, like stained glass, like ripples, branches, cracks in ice, theres something so beautiful and sublime about all of it,
something so free about just breaking from it, and we wonder who was it we were trying to explain to anywayS?

theres no clear way for the masses thousands billions hundreds even tens, maybe it would come together sometimes in the incense of the night and maybe it would seem right at those times, what we all build, the entire feel of all of it, it must have been something from outside that inspired this, some kind of strange compulsion, or deeper truth echoing out, the grid, or at least that way of thinking, but coming back to truth, or seeing the other side, how wide and far we travel, even without knowing it these days, dwelling within us, all this passions, coming up and up, these are not just individual things i think, but being the person who is I all of us are on the forefront or maybe the very back
i dont think it really matters, but in the end, it just resembles more and more cult like activity, people fail to understand and so i'm thrust into it, and i can't really say its wrong, because of all the second guessing, but theres a spirit, and its in all the music, no one could understand i may as well be alone, but i know thats not right, for some reason, in all the silence you would wonder maybe all of its working as one, one huge giant, almost and there, love in that instance, flowing between them, could it be the same, just like a fractal tube, everything is the self
at least in yogic terms, but somehow this seems to dissipate and apply differently depending on where you are at

but theres no clear way because they don't really exist, thinking in these notions we already bog ourselves down by chasing dreams, illusions, for a long time i was there but now i see and learned to speak through it, while within it, of the world, but not in it, but even gone from the cliche boundaries of such a phrase and its intimations invocations, associations, i mean falling freely what is more pure than that, we always forget by this point, at least in terms of the coinciding of the manifest we, i, they, you, us
love, seems to know none of this, and experiencing without a self, any self at all, apparently it leads to charity
but it is like they say, you would never be able to tell, beyond the material physical thing, there is a deeper energetic freedom that is the greatest gift and true tao, beyond anything that is ever spoken of nor can be, that is why they say all such things that seem to 'make no sense'

I am the infinite deep
In whom all the worlds appear to rise.
Beyond all form, forever still.
So am I
somehow the description, the image became all I could grasp and so it became the spirit and its evolution and awakening and conveyance was all i worked towards
then finally realizing there was in truth no where to go
they are all the same place
i rested
Goddess
I met my twin flame there, in the river
and only i had to follow in the groove which we had created all those nothings ago
nothings i say of the insubstantiality of time for as i write it seems to be it
rejoicing in sound, music, language, in name, in that silence which it is and points to everywhere
those rising waterfalls of the soul, of All, rising in vibration
the flower of the heart, the spiralling infinite blossom of timeless
the non existent miraculous emptiness of it all
spirit of water!
all that which forms us, weaves us
stories, memories all divine each moment stands alone
fertile in possibility
safe in nature's ecstasy
the divine one is you, holding yourself, through all
facets we sing

Hineraukatauri?
Can you copy/paste thie oyster info over at the General Conversation section please? It's good info, but It's just in the wrong section .
Thanks!

i dont thinks wrong because elementals like undines and merfolk are mentioned here can't you do this because you're a mod?
also i want to thank all of you and the spirits because this was a beautiful healing i think it did have an effect i certainly feel better from it
ended up going to the bay and meditating/praying there very good energy
picked up some trash.. felt the waves, felt he vastness of creation, beautiful
oysters are related to fairies a lot actually.. friends of fairies
n ull probably be happy to know im gonna be taking a break from this site because ive done enough for one thing…

I didnt mean to offend you! I liked the post actually- I just thought it would be good over at the General section.
Not able to move it though , even though Im a moderator- I think only Natalie can do that.
Please forgive me for offending though- it wasnt my intention- you have alot to offer here so I hope you don't leave !
In any case, that is interesting about the oysters- and I am not surprised that they would be able to even communicate with the oysters and shell fish- especially the mermaids.
hugs
