Mantle tissue in pearl oysters (Pteriidae) is responsible for secreting the mother-of-pearl or nacre lining the shell. When grafted into another oyster, excised mantle tissue, commonly called ‘saibo’, is responsible for cultured pearl production. This study was undertaken to assess the process of mantle regeneration in the Akoya pearl oyster Pinctada fucata and the blacklip pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera...
Cultured pearl production requires grafting of a pearl nucleus, together with a piece of mantle tissue ('saibo') from a donor oyster, into a recipient oyster. The donor mantle tissue is an important factor in determining pearl quality. It is desirable that donor oysters resulting in high quality pearls be used as the basis for future hatchery production to ensure high quality pearl production; however,...
