dc.description.abstract | When Kokichi Mikimoto took the small step forward in 1893 by producing a few blister pearls in the Japanese pearl oyster Pinctada martensii (= P. fucata) at the coastal village of Jinmiyonmura on Ago Bay, a new industry of pearl culture was bom. As he was building up a small-scale industry, a few marine scientists and technicians got themselves interested in it and, in 1907, Tokichi Nishikawa produced the first spherical cultured pearl in the oyster. Subsequently, the credibility of cultured pearl as jewel was established in the 1920s and was followed by a boom of pearl culture industry with a master touch of Mikimoto and several other industrialists who joined the bandwagon. After World War 11, pearl culture industry was established in Australia, Philippines, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, all with Japanese collaboration. In India, since late James Homell sowed the idea of pearl culture in 1916, there has been interest and some experimental work done in Tamil Nadu since 1938 and ifi Gujarat since 1958. However, success in developing the technology was achieved only in 1973 when the first batch of free, spherical cultured pearls was produced at the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (Alagarswami, 1974). While research on pearl culture continued since then, it took a decade for the establishment of an industry for the production of cultured pearls in 1983. This paper briefly identifies the problems of pearl culture in India and indicates the prospects for future. | en_US |
