Marine pearl culture is a multifaceted technique involving three different kind
of works namely (i) seed production, (ii) farming and mother oyster development
and (iii) nucleation and pearl production. To make the technique more viable
and economically feasible it is imperative to make critical analysis of the various
technicalities involved in the culture strategy. Hence a commercial level scheme
on marine pearl culture in the inshore waters of Gulf of Mannar (GOM) was
taken up during 1998-2004 at Mandapam Regional Centre of Central Marine
Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI). Critical analysis of the data revealed
that a definite upgradation of pearl culture technology is required in many
components coupled with policy decisions by the State Government. The present
paper focuses on a single major problem of production of mother oysters for
nucleation and pearl production on a continuous and commercial scale of
operation. The culture method, appropriate farm management, stock density,
growth and survival, culling and their effect on the production of mother oyster
suitable for nucleation are presented in the paper.
