If you are worried about inflicting pain, why do you want to learn how to learn nucleus implantation? I think you have cultivate some non-sensitivity first.

it may be shellfish (PUN) but my desire to try out my ideas slightly wins over my compassion for all living things
.
this compassion is a strength not a weakness I will be contacting various vets and and animal professionals to see how this can be done and if I can find a way to lessen the trauma to the mollusk then I am sure more of them will pull through
.
as I stated my motivation is not profit and the number animals involved will be exstremely low compared to a pearl farm . I will start my learning by disecting dead mollusks until I am confident enough to risk a live animal
.
if all goes well the end result in about 7 years will be a very different pearl.
