Pearl Oyster Katie Shiparski

Taxonomy of types cultured { ~19 species Pinctata radiata (Gulf Pearl Oyster) Pinctada margaritifera (Black Lip Oyster/ Tahitian) Pinctada maxima (Gold Lip oyster) Pinctada maxima (White Lip oyster) Pinctada fucata (Akoya pearl Oyster) Pinctada albino (Shark Bay oyster) Most popular commercially

Economic importance

ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE Retail Multi Billion dollar commerce While cultured and natural pearls are considered to be of equal quality, cultured pearls are generally less expensive because they aren't as rare

Nacre How a pearl is constructed: http://youtu.be/qvyUwamNu9A

Life Cycle and Larval stages

REPRODUCTION Thermal stimulation induces spawning After weeks of free floating they are moved into a ‘nursery’ or juvenile net Can reproduce at 6 months but optimal reproduction is between 2-10 years

Grafting A nucleus/grain (usually mother of pearl) is inserted with a piece of donor mantle tissue into the pearl pocket Nucleus can be rejected in which case it forms a Keshi (beadless deformed pearl) Can be grafted multiple times Species Dependent

Methods Long line Cages with string of oysters hanging

METHODS Raft Culturing Generally in bays

METHODS On bottom culturing Granite/coral sand

HARVESTING Most species of pearls are ready to harvest after 2-6 years Some only need 18 months (Akoya) Harvesting done in winter months because luster is at its highest X-rays used to look at the pearl size

Extensive aqualculture Filtered water supplies most food along with microalgae Adults can filter up to 5 L per hour Low labor until winter months for harvesting

Water Chemistry and environmental requirements in culture Temperature between 20 – 25C (77F) Salinity Prefer higher salinities, but tolerate wide range. Bottom Hard sediments/gravel are best For best quality, avoid sand and silt Depth Optimum depth around 15 meters

Advantages OF PEARL OYSTER Almost 100% of new pearls come from aquaculture Almost any size, color, luminosity, shape, etc. Largely extensive

DISADVANTAGES OF PEARL OYSTER Time consuming at first. In competition with imitation pearls. Can be effected by weather or natural disasters. More “rare” or expensive pearls have a limited production

SO if you like it… ….Put a ring on it
