Party favours, champagne, fireworks... it's "Saint Sylvestre" or "New Years Eve". Far and wide, individuals come together for this annual festive occasion. In their plate : oysters. But recently, a virus puts at risk the annual harvest.
Although individuals celebrate according to their own tastes and styles, "they" remain the star of the feast…drum roll, curtain rise, enter centre stage: oysters! Since 2008, a virus has caused mass devastation among the young shellfish.
80% of spats (seed oysters) die within 48 hours, as soon as water hits 18° Celsius. The threat is a serious one, and is putting the entire industry in France in danger: 3,000 exploitations, 11,000 jobs, 130,000 tons of shells: 80% of the production in Europe has been wiped out.
