Hi George,

thanks for the interesting and lovely photos. I think the nacrethickness is very good, through the surface blemishes I can clearly see that the nacre is quite thick. How long were they in the water before harvesting?

Not sure of exact cultivation period but based on information i received I would think around 18months on average.

Please note that I made an error. The Hervey Bay site is not for sale but it is the Moreton Bay site which is for sale. My apologies.

Here's a few more Aussie Akoya's. 12 month cultivation period (trial harvest) with size around 8mm to 8.5mm

No doubt all going to the Japanese ... wonder when it'll be enough for sale to the public.
