| Description |
The pearl oyster which is a filter-feeder as any other bivalve mollusc, has been considered to feed On phytoplankton including detritus. A detailed study made on the feeding of pearl oyster Pinctada fucata collected from the pearl culture farm as well as natural beds showed the presence of bivalve eggs and larvae along with copepods and crustacean larvae, spicules of sponges, etc. Several samples of oysters collected at different periods of 1977 and 1978 gave the same results indicating that this is a regular feature. |
