Oyster Crisis
It appears we won't be enjoying oysters for much longer, as baby oysters in Brittany are dying en masse for reasons yet uncertain.
«Vent de panique chez les conchyliculteurs. Toutes les régions productrices d'huîtres sont en proie à une catastrophe sans précédent : en quelques jours, 40% à 100% des des huîtres juvéniles ont été décimées, du nord au sud, sans que la raison soit connue. Un phénomène exceptionnel qui pourrait faire augmenter le prix du précieux coquillage d'ici deux ans, à en croire les experts, inquiets pour les 130.000 tonnes d'huîtres produits par le France tous les ans.» www.mon-sondage.com
