Abstract
Even though experiments on production of cultured
pearls were initiated in India in early 1930's, success was
achieved only in the 70's when the free spherical pearls were
produced. The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute
(CMFRI), after successfully producing the spherical pearls,
has developed a technology to produce the pearl oyster seed
by the hatchery method and farming the oysters at sea.
Training was imparted on these important technologies to
technicians both at national and international levels.
