Abstract:

In order to provide information on the progress of black pearl production with pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera in foreign countries, we reviewed the biological characteristics such as taxonomy, morphology, distribution, habitat and ecology, artificial breeding techniques such as natural spat collection, hatchery production water quality parameters, larval food and stocking density, pearl oyster culture such as culture units and methods, and pearl production techniques such as donor oyster selection, preoperative oyster conditioning, season of graft and grafter skill on pearl quality of black-lip pearl oyster P. margaritifera. Research suggestions such as strain breeding, culture methods and seeding techniques were proposed.

Key words: Pinctada margaritifera, biological characteristics, artificial breeding, pearl oyster culture, pearl production
