Akoya mother Oyster, “South Sci-No.1” .Specie Series Revaluated.

Akoya oyster, “South Sci-No.1” species cultivated by South China Sea Marine Research House was revaluated by experts on December 6-7, 2012 at Bigwell Village, Xuwen, Guangdong.

Akoya oysters are major pearl ones for saltwater pearl culture in China, but mortality of them is extremely serious, besides environmental factors, another crucial reason is their inferior species quality and weak resilience. A team of science study led by
Mr. Maoxian He,a chief researcher, from South China Sea Marine Research House had carried out genetic innovations and superior species for Akoya mother oysters, South Sci-No.1 species had been cultivated, which is characterized by thick shell, stiff soft segments, high survival rate and fine shape of cultured pearls. Nowadays, the species of mother of pearl seed breeding, production and pearl culture have been accomplished in Zhanjiang. Nucleated oysters were about 530,000. Pearl rest of the mortality rate was 9.47%. down to 38.32% compared to the past. Superior pearl rate was 49.1%, higher 38.2% than native cultured mass, 20% of hybrid oyster groups.
