Pictures of Nucleation

[purepearls]

I thought it would be nice to show what it looks like to nucleate an oyster. These pictures are all of the nucleation process for Akoyas. I captured these shots while in Guangdong Province earlier this month. There will be excellent detailed footage of the nucleation process on my documentary and hopefully it will be ready by the end of July. Enjoy

Excellent!

Excellent!

I can hardly wait to see more about the Chinese Akoya Farm. Keep the information flowing!

Thanks

well keep in mind the date is from 2 years ago and at a rugged Chinese operation. Techniques in China have improved a good deal in the last couple of years.
