It infuriates me that people just go and kill protected species solely for profit. In particular if they do not even have any knowledge about the product they trying to retrieve. Here I said it. You should be ashamed.

Nice! Fits well together.

I remember I could initially pay for purchases with a card. But that was for the first couple of thousand dollars. Paypal is otherwise very strict in the US for setting up an account linked to a bank account and requires ID and address confirmation. Maybe it is easier in Asia. I have never heard...

I am a member of a tribe that is dying out: I absolutely value my own privacy and turn irate if companies/government violate it by tracking information behind the backs of consumers/people. And I can be quite radical when feeling irate as to completely sever ties with said entities. So, I am not...

They do grow this species in aquaponics cultures already. I would contact people with some experience to see whether it is viable option. Aquaponics corrects many of the problems that can come up. But it certainly will not be easy.

I read somewhere this mussel species produces pearls naturally. You are probably still more likely to enjoy them as a meal rather than with mussels inside, but it should be an interesting experiment.

That species has been used by somebody in Australia for aquaponics. They seem to be tasty.

I think you may first need to learn how to grow mussels. There may be some aquaponics systems that use freshwater mussels. That would probably be hard enough. To even have a slight chance at culturing pearls, you would have to work in a sterile or semi-sterile environment and keep your culturing...

The pearls remind me of lava. I think Pele is the goddess of volcanoes.

What is the word for black magic woman in Polynesian? Pele pearls comes to my mind, but that's a man.

I think the name should be polynesian.

I was waiting for something like this to come out of Tahiti. Finally! Competition is best countered with innovation.
