Description Seed production of Pinctada fucata using
induced breeding techniques were developed
by the CMFRI to support the pearl culture
industry. Subsequent to this, the growth of
hatchery produced pearl oyster spat
transplanted to pearl farms near the natural
oyster beds in the Gulf of Mannar were
studied. Observations indicated that the pearl
spat (3 to 5 mm) produced in the hatchery
have to be reared for 12 to 20 months
before they reach an implantable size.
Currently pearl culture farms located along
the southeast coast face the problem of long
grow out phase.
