Kimani 1 and K.M. Mavuti2 1 Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute, R O. Box 81651, Mombasa, Kenya; 2Department of Zoology, University of Nairobi, P. O. Box 30197, Nairobi, Kenya Key words: pearl oysters, Pinctada margaritifera, occurrence, abundance, population structure, sex expression,Pteria penguin, Pteria chinensis, Kenya Abstract—Pearl oysters are an important marine resource within the Indo-Pacific oceans. They are widely cultured for the production of black pearls, their flesh is eaten, and their shell, known as mother-of-pearl (MOP) is used in the ornament and button industry. The blacklip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera L., has been harvested from East Africa for MOP for decades. A survey within nearshore habitats in Kenya showed that Pi. margaritifera is widely distributed in shallow lagoons, bays and channels. Other oyster species found during the survey were the wing oyster, Pteria penguin, occurring in deep channels in Shimoni and Mombasa, and Pt. chinensis, within lagoons and channels in Malindi, Mombasa and Shimoni. Pinctada margaritifera was most abundant in Gazi Bay within sheltered back reefs and lagoon, and on an intertidal reef flat and back reef in Shimoni. Mean abundance and sizes declined with depth. The abundance of Pi. margaritifera in Kenya was higher than reported in the Pacific Islands and similar to abundances reported in India. The overall mean (34 mm) and maximum (154 mm) sizes were lower than those reported in the Pacific Ocean, but similar to sizes in India and the Red Sea.

Growing body of evidence, however, suggests that marine populations can differentiate over small spatial scales. Here we focused on black-lip pearl oysters from the Persian Gulf that are thought to belong to the Pinctada margaritifera complex given their morphological affinities. This species complex includes seven lineages that show a wide distribution ranging from the Persian Gulf (Pinctada margaritifera persica) and Indian Ocean (P. m. zanzibarensis) to the French Polynesia (P.

De Pretis 30, 95039, Trecastagni, Catania, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding author ABSTRACT The earliest reported alien species that entered the Mediterranean after only nine years from the inauguration of the Suez Canal was “Meleagrina” sp., which was subsequently identified as the Gulf pearl-oyster, Pinctada radiata (Leach, 1814) (Bivalvia Pteriidae). Thereafter, an increasing series of records of this species followed. In fact, nowadays it can be considered a well-established species throughout the Mediterranean basin. Since the Red Sea isthmus was considered to be the only natural way of migration, nobody has ever doubted about the name to be assigned to the species, P. radiata, since this was the only Pinctada Röding, 1798 cited in literature for the Mediterranean Sea. Taxonomy of Pinctada is complicated since it lacks precise constant morphological characteristics to distinguish one species from the oth- ers. Thus, distribution and specimens location are particularly important since different species mostly live in different geographical areas. Some researchers also used a molecular phylogenetic approach, but the results were discordant.

Controlling and cleaning biofouling is a major expense of any pearl farm operation. Biofouling also has a significant effect on the growth rate and survival of pearl oysters. An experiment was setup in Valili pearl farm to find out the best cleaning regime for highest growth rate of Mother of Pearl oysters from January 2012 through to June 2012. The experimental setup had 4 treatments; 2 week, 4 week, 6 week and 20 week cleaning regime. Each treatment had 5 panel nets with 21 oysters. The results showed that the oysters treated with 4 and 6 week cleaning regime had significantly higher growth rates than 2 and 20 week cleaning regime.

  • Pearl Oysters
    CHAPTER 12 Pearl Oysters Neil A. Sims I. INTRODUCTION Two species of the pearl oyster genus Pinctada (Table I) are commercially significant to the South Pacific. The black-lip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera (Linnaeus, 1758), ranges from Baja California to the eastern Mediterranean Sea (Jameson, 1901; George, 1978: Table II). Black-lip shell is fished throughout the region, and black pearls are cultured in French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Fiji and Okinawa. P. maxima (Jameson, 1901), the gold-lip or silver-lip, ranges from Burma to Solomon Islands. It is cultured for white pearls in Australia and South-east Asia. Gold-lip has also been cultured at various times in Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Palau and Tonga (George, 1978; Uwate, et al, 1984). The two species are distinguishable by colour (Hynd, 1955); P. margaritifera has a black external shell surface and black non- nacreous border, where P. maxima is yellow, gold or silver. The winged, or brown-lip pearl oyster, Pteria penguin, is fished for shell in Solomon Islands (Philipson, unpubl. data). It can produce half pearls, although early culture trials in Tonga were unsuccessful (Uwate, et al., 1984). A smaller species, Pinctada maculata (Gould, 1850), is also found through the Pacific islands (Hynd, 1955) and is fished in some areas for the small, baroque natural pearls. The shell is of no value, however, and there is little potential for culture of the species. P. albina (Lamarck, 1819) is cultured in Shark Bay, Western Australia (Hancock, 1989) and P. radiata (Leach, 1814) culture is being tried on the Australian Great Barrier Reef.

    8 Pearl oyster health management: a manual around 24 percent. Global marine pearl production in 2004 had an estimated value of approximately US$475 million of which white South Sea pearls from P. maxima contributed more than 46 percent. Silver-lip/gold-lip pearl oyster, Pinctada maxima Pinctada maxima is the largest pearl oyster species (Shirai, 1994) and is consequently used to produce the largest cultured pearls (approximately 10-20 mm in diameter). It is distributed within the central Indo-Pacific region, bounded by the Bay of Bengal to the west, Solomon Islands to the east, the Philippines to the north, and northern Australia to the south. The terms “South Sea cultured pearl” and “South Sea pearl” are used for pearls produced in marine waters south of Japan. These names are associated with large cultured pearls produced from both P. maxima and P. margaritifera (Strack, 2006). The international market recognizes and distinguishes between “white“ and “black" South Sea cultured pearls, produced by P. maxima and P. margaritifera, respectively. The major producers of cultured pearls from P. maxima are Indonesia, Australia and the Philippines with approximately 40 percent, 32 percent and 20 percent of total production, respectively (Table 1.2.2). Total production of pearls from P. maxima in 2005 was more than 9.3 tonnes with a total value of US$248 million. Pearl production from P. maxima increased by approximately 260 percent between 1999 and 2005 (Henricus-Prematilleke, 2005) to become the leading pearl category. Australia Pearl production began in Australia in the 1950s. Total pearl exports generally varied between 200 000 and 600 000 pearls per year from 1965 to 1995.

  • AN OVERVIEW of the METHOD, MANAGEMENT, PROBLEM and THEIR SOLUTION in the PEARL OYSTER (Pinctada Margaritifera) CULTURE
    Journal of Coastal Development ISSN : 1410-5217 Volume 14, Number 3, June 2011 : 181-190 Accredited : 83/Dikti/Kep/2009 Review AN OVERVIEW OF THE METHOD, MANAGEMENT, PROBLEM AND THEIR SOLUTION IN THE PEARL OYSTER (Pinctada margaritifera) CULTURE Ludi Parwadani Aji Technical Implementation Unit For Marine Life Conservation, Research Centre For Oceanography, Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI), Biak – West Papua Received : March, 7, 2011 ; Accepted : May, 31, 2011 ABSTRACT Pearl culture operations can be divided into three categories which are collection/hatchery production, ongrowing and pearl culture. For the hatchery, the pearl oyster industry relies on spat collection at natural production atolls where spat is abundant during the warm season and also from broodstock in the laboratory condition. After that, hatchery grown juveniles are put into the sea on the material which they settle upon. The spat are left to grow for 2 years till an average size of 90 mm. Pearl culture involves the implantation of a spherical nucleus together with a piece of mantle tissue (Saibo) from a sacrificial oyster, into the gonads. Although pearl culture is extensive with little control over weather, the use of good management methods can drastically increase productivity and result in higher profitability. Therefore, management of culture system such as site selection, settlement, feeding, stocking density and pearl culture technique is essential. For example, site selection is the most critical factor affecting pearl oyster productivity and spat collection, as the oysters spend most of their growing time exposed to water elements. Site selection must take into account important water quality parameters like temperature, salinity and turbidity.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The pearl oyster Pinctada radiata (Leach, 1814) is an alien species introduced to the Mediterranean Sea and recorded in Tunisia many years ago. However, since its record in Tunisian inshore areas, no studies have been carried out about the spread of this invasive mollusc. Thus, the status of this species is still poorly known and there is a knowledge- gap about its distribution and ecology.

This industry entirely relies on the collection of natural spats from few highly recruiting lagoons. In recent years, pearl oyster producers have experienced variable success rates in spat collection, with significant spatial and temporal variability in spat supply, driving uncertainty in the future of pearl production.
