Description For running a pearl culture industry, a steady supply
of pearl oyster seed is a pre-requisite. Collection of
pearl oysters from the natural beds is not always dependable,
owing to their irregular production. Inspection
of pearl oyster beds during the last three decades has
proved this. There are three ways to raise pearl oyster
spat for pearl culture farms: (1) setting up of artificial
spat collectors at subsurface during oyster spawning
season (2) collection from the natural beds and (3)
hatchery production of seed.
