Flat oysters can survive when the tide goes out by closing their shells tightly to retain moisture and prevent drying out. They are also able to survive for some time out of water by keeping their gills moist and absorbing oxygen from the air. Additionally, flat oysters can withstand exposure to air and fluctuations in temperature for brief periods due to their ability to regulate their metabolism.

Is it better to fish during high tide or low tide?

It depends on what you are fishing for and where. Normally the fish come in when the tide does and when the tide goes out so do the fish. It is said that when the tide is dead high or dead low its not very good fishing, but fish can be caught in those situations. We normally look at the tide charts and catch the tide when it is coming in, up to the point of full tide.
