Growth of pearl oyster is normal in optimum temperature range of 19 ° to 29 ° C. Higher temperature causes retardation of growth. Linear growth is attained by accretion of material in the form of finger like processes which when shed leaves continuous concentric lines; such lines are more apart during normal growth, but get crowded when growth declines. Slow growth is shown on shells in the form of growth ring. This being an annual phenomenon it provides a clue in determining age of oyster. |
