Title CMFRI Bulletin No. 39: Introduction
 
Creator Alagarswami, K
 
Subject Pearl oyster
 
Description India is endowed with a pearl oyster resource which
has been exploited for the natural pearls from time
immemorial and, in the historical past, pearls have been
one of the precious objects, along with spices, exported
from the ports in the South. The Gulf of Mannar and
Gulf of Kutch are the well known haunts of this
resource and pearl fisheries had been organised in the
past from Tuticorin and Jamnagar respectively. The
'paars' of Gulf of Mannar have yielded to very
valuable fisheries in the past, the most successful of
which has been the fishery series of 1955-1961. Since
then the beds have gone back into a recessive phase
without much of pearl oyster stock as has been the
typical situation in the past. The ' khaddas ' of the
Gulf of Kutch, after yielding to a moderate fishery in
1966-67 season, have likewise, been unproductive since
then.
