How Are Pearls Formed?

A frequent question that is asked by the people that how does pearl form in the pearl farming or what is the process of Nucleation in the pearl farming.

The surgical procedure of implanting a foreign object into the Oyster is known as the process of Nucleation. In this, object causes irritation by which the oyster counteracts by secreting the nacre to surrounding the object; finally, this will produce the pearl at the end.

Freshwater Pearl Farming or Cultured Freshwater Pearl

Cultured freshwater pearl formation involves some step, which is explained below in detail to provide you comfort. Go, through it and take advantage of this information to be a successful freshwater pearl farmer.

Let us start our journey with the gathering of Oyster onwards.

Collection of Mussels or An Oyster

Since the complete farming of the pearl is mainly depended on the Oyster. It starts with the collection of an oyster or the Mussels. To get a good profit, it is recommended to collect a healthy mussel so that there is good result later on at the time of harvesting.

Where to Find Pearl Oysters? is a silly question. Collect the Pearl Oyster from natural sources of freshwater like ponds, river, etc. Collect them manually and please place them in pots or buckets or containers in the water. To have a good result in pearl production, make use of only those Mussels which have bigger posterior & anterior length (about more than 8-9 cm)

How to raise Oysters

Under the controlled situation, leave the larvae to float smoothly in the water. When they become several weeks old, they start to fix to a rock or alike object. After about several months, larvae grow to baby Oyster. At this stage, they are transferred to a separate place like the nursery of a farm. At this place, they are managed for something around 1 – 2 years, till they have matured sufficiently large to be used for the nucleation process.  And, if you are new to this business, then try to buy only high quality, sperms & eggs of Oyster from the market. Many farmers also used to propagate these eggs & sperms for generating a new generation of oyster larvae

Pre-cultural Operation or Activities

After collecting a quality oyster from fresh water bodies like pond and river, it is recommended to carry out some operation; before starting pearl culture. Such, Pre cultural operation in pearl culture operation leads to better result in this farming. Here below is a list of suggestion to you on pre-cultural activities to carry out.

1. Keep the collected mussels in a crowded condition
2. Usually, keep those collected Mussels in tap (normal) water with a stocking density of about one mussel per liter water.
3. It is recommended to follow this operation for about 2 to 3 days.
4. Keeping mussels in older water is supposed to have a good result in pearl formation.

Such pre cultural activities or operation are helpful in the easy handling o mussels at the time of surgery in the pearl culture.

Implantation Methods in Pearl Farming

Generally, freshwater pearl operation and methods depend on the surgery, done in the internal structure of the mussel and the type of pearl is intended in the pearl cultivation.

A shell bead can be an essential input in the pearl culture operations and locally available inexpensive biocompatible acrylic material can be employed as nuclei in freshwater pearl operations or production.

To get a good profit, pearl mussels of the size around 8 to 10 cm in shell length and weight of 50 grams and above are the best bet (ideal) for the pearl cultivation.

Implantation of Grafits and Nuclei or Mussel Surgery

This can be performed in three different ways, which are:

1. Gonadal Implantation
2. Mantle Tissue Implantation and 
3. Mantle Cavity Implantation

& are also the common method of implantation, used in the pearl cultivation.

Nucleus

The nucleus is a particle, which is composed of shell powder of the lifeless mussels pod & is combined with a solvent. The liquid solution is used to furnish the desired appearance.

There are numerous nucleus like design nucleus, tear drop, oval, round and half round.

Mantle Tissue Implantation in Pearl Cultivation

Implantation can be done at mantle ribbons of both valves. Here below is a step by step guide for Mantle Tissue Implantation in Pearl Farming. learn it properly.

1. First of all, divide the collected mussel into two groups like donor & receiver mussel group
2. Moving ahead, Prepare the graft; set of small parts of the mantle tissue. For this, prepare a mantle ribbon from the donor set, and cut it in the small parts like 2 X 2 mm.
3. Carry out the implantation on the recipient mussels. Take care that there are two type of recipient mussel; ‘non-nucleated’ & ‘nucleated’
4. If you are going for implantation on the ‘non-nucleated’ recipient then, introduce the grafted parts or pieces into the openings, generated at the interior side of dorsal pallial mantle
5. And if you are going for ‘nucleated’ recipient implantation, introduce the grafted parts or pieces into the small nucleus which has diameter around 2 mm

Precaution

Take care that while grafting, nucleus should not be injured & come out from grafting.

Gonadal Implantation in Pearl Farming

The Gonadal implantation in pearl culture process is similar to the Mantle tissue implantation. Graft preparation is done by the same ways as like in the mantle tissue method. Here below is a list of some step to follow for Gonadal Implantation in Pearl culture process. Learn them.

1. First of all, prepare a graft, by cutting the mussels at the gonad portion.
2. Then after, insert the prepared graft in the gonad portion of the Mussels.
3. Then, insert a nucleus after the inserted graft; take care that nucleus should have a diameter of 2-4 mm to obtain good results. This will help in keeping the nucleus in tight contact with graft.

Precaution

Take care of the Nucleus should not touch the external epithelial sheet of grafting and also the intestine of it did not get cut while operating surgical procedure.

Mantle Tissue Implantation in Pearl Farming

This type of Implantation can be done at mantle cavities of both the valves of the collected mussels.In this method, after the opening of two valves of the collected and pre-cultured mussel, insert a bead which has a diameter around  4 – 6 mm into the mantle cavity section of collected mussels.

In this process, both the shells are separated between the shapes having designers Beed with 4 to 6 cm diameter. Then, carefully separate the mantle cavity from the anterior part of mussels, from the fish shell by using a surgical set. Try to keep the design part toward the surface and then closed the oyster, leaving a little space.

Precaution 

Be sure that the mussels are not to be injured at any of ends at this stage.

Post Operative Care of Mussels

All like other farming, proper care in this farming leads you to good result later. So, be careful of this to handle it properly.

Check these units on the daily basis, and eliminated material that is hazardous to them. And also eliminate the dead mussels from it as they did not give you any pearl from them.

Pond Culture in Freshwater Pearl Farming

After about two weeks in the operative care, these mussels should be transformed to a suitable pond which has a sufficient area to grow well your pearl with a clean environment. For stocking mussels in the pond, make use of nylon bags. It is recommended to place 2 to 3 no’s of mussels per unit nylon bags. This will optimize your pearl production.

Fixed those prepared bags with a PVC pipe or a Bamboo stick into the pond. Take care while fixing or placing them into the pond. Generally, keep them at depth of one meter inside & not more than it.

Pond Size

As bigger is the size of your pond, the greater is the amount of profit in pearl farming.

Stocking Density in Pond

To achieve optimum pearl production, culture those mussels with keeping a stocking density nearly about 30,000 per unit Hector pond area.

Application of Manure and Fertilizers in Pearl Farming

Timely implementation of manure and fertilizer to any commercial farming plays an important role in increasing the yield and as your business; Pearl culture process totally depends on the plankton present in your pond. As more planktons in your pond, higher is the growth of your pearl. So, your pond should be rich in plankton.

So, to increase the Plankton’s productivity in your pond, fertilize it with suitable fertilizer. Make use of organic & inorganic fertilizers to stabilize Plankton’s fertility periodically.

Check those mussels inside the bags on regular basis. If found, removed the dead ones. Clean those nylon bags regularly till the collection of pearl from your pond. Because of bad atmosphere cause to bad quality pearl production.

Feed these mussels timely. cow dung, algae, and groundnut are some common fodder use for feeding mussels in pearl cultivation.

Climate requires for pearl farming

The surgeries must be performed during winter. That’s the main criteria. The temperature can be anywhere between 25 ‘C to 28 ‘C. One must avoid performing surgeries in the warm climate or in summer.

Pearl Harvesting

How long does it take to form pearls? Pearl Formation takes few months, something about one year. However, pearl formation mainly depends on the types of mussel, you have used for pearl cultivation. After about one year, pearl inside the pond is ready for harvesting.

Collect those fixed mussels from the pond and harvest your own pearl from an unopened oyster shell individually. You have to break these mussels in the harvesting of pearl and are not capable of using another time.

In pearl culture process, the pearl production varies with the method of Implantation. In each method, there is a different product. The product obtain in these three methods are

1. Mantle cavity Implantation; Pearl attached to the shell of mussels are obtain.
2. Mantle tissue Implantation;  Rounded & irregular (small) pearl obtain and are not attached to the shell
3. Gonadal Implantation; Rounded & irregular (big) pearl obtain and are not attached to the shell

Yield in Pearl Farming
