Interesting about the blooms, I forgot about them. Nasty.
Probably doesn't apply so much in Japan on the reasons I gave; the south is warm enough to cultivate warm-water species and they probably mostly have Pacific or Rock oysters anyway. On the flip side, possibly warmer waters cause more blooms.
