Trophic conditions and water temperature strongly influence bivalve physiological processes and metabolism. In black-lip pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera, these parameters have been shown to affect shell biomineralization. The present study investigated the effect of preoperative food level (i.e., microalgal concentration) and temperature on pearl biomineralization. Donor and recipient oysters were conditioned at different levels of food and temperature during the preoperative phase to evaluate the influence of these factors on 1) pearl retention rate (grafting success), 2) expression of genes involved in biomineralization in the mantle and pearl sac and 3) pearl quality traits. Our study confirmed the influence of both microalgal concentration and...

Influence of grafter skill and season on cultured pearl shape, circles and rejects in Pinctada margaritifera aquaculture in Mangareva lagoon
Provedor de dados: 5

Cultured pearls quality produced by the mollusc Pinctada margaritifera var. cumingi is determined by a panel of criteria, of which shape is one of the most relevant. Cultured pearls with round and semi-round (RS) shapes are the most valuable. Decreasing the proportion of other pearl shapes (OT: baroque, button, drop, oval), and especially the circled pearls (CL) and rejects (rebuts: RT), is an important challenge for the pearl industry. The present study examined the effect of grafter skill and season of graft on the variation in proportions of CL, RS, OT and RT cultured pearl shape categories in a mono-site culture (Mangareva island lagoon). Six large-scale grafting experiments, carried out in the same way as commercial grafting sessions, were made by...
