Title Progress of research under scheme on pearl culture, 1974-78
 
Creator Jayabaskaran, Y
 
Subject Pearl oyster
 
Description The lucrative pearl fishery in the Gulf of Mannar
could not be conducted after 1961 due to the paucity
of oysters in the natural beds. So the only way to
have continuous supply of pearls is the production of
cultured pearls utilising the available oyster resources.
This needs preliminary investigations. Only when the
cultured pearl production technology, farming and
other allied techniques are perfected, a venture can be
made in the direction of commercial production.
To perfect the technique of cultured pearl production
and farming, the Pearl Culture Scheme of Department
of Fisheries, Tamil Nadu Government was started
in collaboration with Central Marine Fisheries Research
Institute, Tuticorin. The programme commenced
functioning from 8-2-1974.
