- Abstract
Figure 26: A staff member at the pearl farm demonstrates insertion of a bead nucleus into an oyster. The mollusc used for pearl cultivation was Pinctada maxima, or the South Sea gold-lipped oyster (Tint Tun 1998; Strack 2006). The Myanmar pearl-farming industry started in 1954 as a joint venture between the Burma Pearl Fishing and Culture Syndicate and the Japanese pearl farmer Kichiro Takashima, under the name South Sea Pearl Co.
