The first book to chronicle the global history of oysters, the current state of the oyster farming industry—including a how-to guide for starting a farm—and the promising environmental solutions that oyster farming presents in this age of food challenges and climate change.

The oyster is one of Earth's oldest animals, and fossil records show humans have enjoyed them for hundreds of thousands of years. But like so many other creatures, wild oysters were driven to near extinction by overconsumption and pollution. The Clean Water Act passed in 1972 marked a turning point for water quality, and decades later, we're witnessing a renaissance in oyster culture as the rise of aquaculture (ocean farming) attempts to supply a growing demand for oysters that increases exponentially year after year.

Internationally renowned oyster farmer Dan Martino guides readers through this fascinating history before presenting a detailed breakdown of the current state of the oyster industry as only an insider can describe it. He discusses husbandry, nursery, and farm techniques; the practical side of working with local government to set up a farm; tips for selling into the market; and what qualities make for the perfect oyster. He details the various global styles of farming and the species of oysters farmed, explaining how the they differ in size, texture, shape, and taste—characteristics referred to as "merroir," to parallel the way "terroir" illuminates how the origin of place affects taste in wine.

The oyster has never been more relevant as we look to the future and the many challenges presented by climate change and a growing population. Martino explores how the current land-based food production system risks collapse as it tries to keep up with growing demand, and oyster farming, which uses no land and minimal freshwater input, is a natural alternative to more resource-intensive food sources. Oysters are also exceptionally good at capturing carbon, making them a necessary element in the quest for climate change solutions.

The Oyster Book is an exploration of the past, present, and future of humanity's relationship with the oyster, highlighting how humans can learn from our mistakes and harness the oyster's potential for a more sustainable future.

中文| 2024年9月10日| ISBN:157284342X|320页| True EPUB | 13.97 MB这是第一本记录牡蛎全球历史、牡蛎养殖业现状的书，包括如何创办农场的指南，以及牡蛎养殖在这个粮食挑战和气候变化的时代所提出的有前景的环境解决方案。 牡蛎是地球上最古老的动物之一，化石记录显示，人类已经喜欢牡蛎数十万年了。但像许多其他生物一样，野生牡蛎因过度消费和污染而濒临灭绝。1972年通过的《清洁水法》标志着水质的转折点，几十年后，我们目睹了牡蛎养殖的复兴，因为水产养殖（海洋养殖）的兴起试图满足对牡蛎日益增长的需求，这种需求逐年呈指数级增长。 国际知名的牡蛎养殖户Dan Martino带领读者了解这段引人入胜的历史，然后详细介绍牡蛎产业的现状，只有业内人士才能描述。他讨论了畜牧业、育苗和养殖技术；与当地政府合作建立农场的实际方面；向市场销售的技巧；以及什么品质造就了完美的牡蛎。他详细介绍了各种全球养殖风格和养殖的牡蛎种类，解释了它们在大小、质地、形状和味道上的差异——这些特征被称为“merroir”，与“terroir”阐明产地如何影响葡萄酒味道的方式相似。 当我们展望未来以及气候变化和人口增长带来的许多挑战时，牡蛎从未如此重要。Martino探讨了当前的陆基粮食生产系统在试图跟上不断增长的需求时如何面临崩溃的风险，而牡蛎养殖不使用土地和最小的淡水投入，是资源密集型粮食来源的自然替代品。牡蛎也非常善于捕获碳，使其成为寻求气候变化解决方案的必要元素。 《牡蛎书》探索了人类与牡蛎关系的过去、现在和未来，强调了人类如何从错误中吸取教训，利用牡蛎的潜力创造一个更可持续的未来。
