Yes, you did. And you defended the lie.
Some scallops reproduce asexually but not all. They do so by releasing eggs and sperm into the water column.
Shucking their shells in the ocean/sea only does 2 things.
Disposes the shell / organs and puts more calcium carbonate in the water.
When you take the shell apart like that and harvest the muscle that closes the shell, you effectively kill the creature.
It's like if I chopped off your limbs and chucked you in the ocean, sure you still have your reproductive organs on ya, but how long will you last ?
Technically that is called Spawning and its not asexual. Asexual reproduction only occurs when only one creature is needed. Usually via Parthenogenesis, budding, or mitosis.
Its really rare among vertebrates and uncommon among things larger than plankton.
Since Clams require an egg producer and a sperm producer it is sexual reproduction. Two parenting creatures.
The shells aren’t empty, most of the creature is in the shell, the scallop is the thing that connects the creature to the shell. Like the little white cylinder you see attached a mussel shell after you eat the mussel.
Seems like a lot of the lies that get told by certain industries.
"We are actually helping them by killing millions of them a year, we are stewards pf the environment"
"The forest is safer because it's been logged and replanted"
Then people will all say how they replanted the forest all I good. Meanwhile it's one or two tree species, none of the other vegetation, and they basically are dead forrests with little life or ecosystem. Kinda surprised they toss the shells, but then again it's probably cheaper to dispose of them that way than having to take up space to sell for stuff like pool clarifier.
Also what does that have to do with pitching the knife out when your mind wanders. Why is it a response to a completely unrelated comment?

Ok, thanks for the research prompt! This is from NOAA's Fisheries page on Atlantic Sea Scallops:
Sea scallops can live up to 20 years. They grow quickly for the first few years of their life.
The largest scallop ever reported was about 9 inches in shell height, but they typically don’t grow larger than 6 inches.
Sea scallops can reproduce by age 2, but don’t produce many eggs or sperm until they are about 4 years old.
They are very fertile—a female sea scallop can produce hundreds of millions of eggs per year. For this reason, scallops may respond more rapidly to management actions than species that reproduce slowly and in small numbers.
Sea scallops usually spawn in late summer or early fall. They also may spawn in the spring, especially in the Mid-Atlantic Bight.
After hatching, scallop larvae remain in the water column for 4 to 6 weeks before settling on the ocean floor.
Sea scallops feed by filtering phytoplankton or other small organisms out of the water column, which can actually help to improve water quality by removing suspended materials.
Many kinds of pelagic fish and invertebrates eat scallop larvae.
Cod, wolffish, eel pout, flounder, crabs, lobster, sea turtles, and sea stars feed on juvenile and adult scallops.
Using its adductor muscle to snap its top and bottom shells open and shut, a sea scallop can propel itself through the water. This helps them escape predators, such as sea stars, that other bivalves like mussels, clams, and oysters can’t avoid.
Conclusion: they do not grow on their parent's shell.
The oyster boats right down the street from me collect the shells and they toss them back en masse to seed their new oysters. It’s one way they protect the fishery; the larval oysters require the shells of old oysters to grow. I don’t know the exact mechanics but I imagine most bivalves function in this way.
Reminds me of that Edith Finch game where that one guy works at some fish business and slowly retreats into escapism to deal with his depressing, monotonous job.

You're surprised & horrified to see a scallop shell in your hand instead. I definitely would've yeeted the knife or cut myself as soon as my mind distracts itself.
Indeed, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) primarily involves nerve compression rather than direct muscle injury. However, it's essential to note that the thenar eminence, the fleshy part of the palm at the base of the thumb, houses muscles like the abductor pollicis brevis and opponens pollicis. These muscles are under the control of the median nerve, which is the nerve commonly affected in CTS.
As CTS progresses, the compression on the median nerve can lead to weakness and atrophy of these muscles. This means that the muscles in the thenar eminence can become less strong and may shrink over time. This indirect effect on muscle function contributes to the sensory and motor deficits observed in later stages of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
So, while CTS may not be a muscle injury per se, its impact on the muscles, particularly those in the thenar eminence, can become evident in advanced stages of the condition.
headline says this guy is terrible, but he's just doing a job, and from what i can tell, very well practiced. even if you're morally opposed to skinning meat out from shellfish, you can't deny that this guy has a very practiced and competent level of skill at what he's doing
My das got a massive scar on his hand where he sent a knife through it shucking scallops like this. Shit takes real skill props to this lad proper pro.
Cut proof gloves. 🧤 this reminds me of working at a 3m plant and making those filters for some sort of respiratory mask. Just the same thing over and over, for 12 hours.
Scallops are one of the sea creature I do not consume because it takes them nearly 2 years to reproduce meaning even if they are slightly sustainable, you’re still robbing the ocean of a very important creature. It would be like taking away flies from above water environments. They feed off of microorganisms and other tiny ocean particles and actually act as a filter to improve water quality. They aren’t that flavorful unless you season the heck out of them and or drown them in butter and salt etc.

There ain't no creature getting turfed back into the ocean. Just two empty shell halves. The muscle is the scallop.
The shells aren’t empty, most of the creature is in the shell, the scallop is the thing that connects the creature to the shell. Like the little white cylinder you see attached a mussel shell after you eat the mussel.
Nah the white part is just the adductor muscle. If you've ever eaten scallop with the orange part too, that's the gonad. The rest was thrown back.
Professional scalloper here. Wanna run that by me again? nothing is thrown back.
I’m confused, you can see something in the shell he’s throwing back

So what’s damaging about that? I assume the dredge irritates and displaces other life in the area? At least the scallops get repopulated, I guess?
Yes, the life that is being displaced could take decades to grow back, if not longer.
As someone else proved above that is absolutely incorrect

Aw, thanks. It was mostly copy pasta lol

It’s one way they protect the fishery; the larval oysters require the shells of old oysters to grow. I don’t know the exact mechanics but I imagine most bivalves function in this way.
The mechanics is that the dissolved calcium in the water is needed to grow the shells.
Accidentally stab myself lol
Pretty sure those gloves and arm bands are cut resistant.
Still don’t think it’d hurt though?

Along with my severed thumb.....

Terrible?
probably meant terrific (in french we use "terrible" literally for "terrible", and figuratively to mean "terrific")
Sick
Terrible
Baaaad
That’s allllll bad
OP is probably a bot. All of their activity is in the last two days.
And it’s designed to make these mistakes for engagement.
That's terrible.
And when something is not that good, "pas terrible" (not terrible) is used. Va comprendre!
And for some reason 'not terrible' (pas terrible) means pretty terrible.
But this is the English language not French
Ah, it sounds like it's akin to how English will (or at least used to) sometimes say, "That's terribly (cool, interesting, cute, ect.)"
A scallop made that comment.
They could be commenting on the amount of scallops they're fishing .. and the destructiveness of it ..??
ESL
Idk but is scallop really an only part you can get out of it?
Trying to decode that part made this post not satisfying.
OP is a bot. Probably replaced a word from the last time it was posted to get past filters.
Damn he's good, but I hope he doesn't get carpal syndrome. This profession is notorious for... ...injuring mussels!

Not to mention these are oysters, not mussels...

He IS a propagator though, baby ~~mussels~~ scallops grow on the shells, so tossing them out helps propagate the species.
Not sure how he is terrible
I am guessing it's a play on the obvious pun title "This guy shucks". This guy shucks > This guy sucks > This guy is terrible.
Aw shucks
used to work on a scallop boat...shucked scallops as big as a hamburger and would just eat them raw.
How are they harvested? Nets?
drag nets along the ocean floor
I was worried you were going to say that! Such a shame.
Don’t eat scallops that aren’t farmed. Catching them wild involves tearing up the seabed with a huge plank of wood destroying everything in its path.
It's like I was born for this job! Knife goes in guts come out, knife goes in guts come out
I think I might've thrown the bucket and probably my apron through that window by now?

I would’ve fallen out that port hole
I pray he gets treatment for his dystonia that’s going to develop in his hands
Why’s he terrible??
Thumbs up to this guy, I can’t imagine having to sit there and endlessly shuck scallops. They smell terrible too.
Should keep the shells for ashtrays or a soap dish
I should call her
How is he terrible?
Just so everyone knows, these are still alive… I know I know……. But think about it

What a hygienic environment
You mean the ocean?
Why do I feel like a robot will be doing this job sooner than later
Shucks
surprised they get rid of so many of the shells, they could sell them to gift shops
But a shucker you met once, who’s good at shucking…
Nooooo , all that mollusk meat
Down to shuck
The walrus and the carpenter.
This looks extremely painful!!😓
I’ve heard this is necessary to promote reproduction 😉
