“…Considering these therapeutic benefits, animal mucus holds promise for treating skin damage [ 23 , 24 ]. Pinctada martensii (PM), a bivalve mollusk primarily cultivated in China and Japan, secretes a substantial amount of mucus during its growth and has garnered attention from researchers [ 25 ].…”

“…The pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii is widely recognized in biomineralization. It is a filter feeder and a representative species for producing highquality marine pearl in China and Japan, accounting for more than 90% of seawater pearl produced (Southgate and Lucas, 2008;Z. F. Gu et al, 2009).…”

Pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii is widely recognized for biomineralization and has been cultured for high-quality marine pearl production. To ascertain how dietary vitamin D3 (VD3) levels affect the features of pearl production by P. f. martensii and discover the mechanisms regulating this occurrence, five experimental diets with variable levels of VD3 were used with inclusion levels of 0, 500, 1,000, 3,000, and 10,000 IU/kg. The distinct inclusion levels were distributed into five experimental groups (EG1, EG2, EG3, EG4, and EG5). All the experimental groups were reared indoors except the control group (CG) reared at the sea. Pearl oysters, one year and a half old, were used in the grafting operation to culture pearls. During the growing period that lasted 137 days, EG3 had the highest survival rate, retention rate, and high-quality pearl rate. A similar trend was found for EG3 and CG with significantly higher pearl thickness and nacre deposition rates than other groups, but no significant differences were observed between them. A metabolomics profiling using GC–MS and LC–MS of pearl oysters fed with low quantities of dietary VD3 and optimal levels of dietary VD3 revealed 135 statistically differential metabolites (SDMs) (VIP > 1 and p < 0.05). Pathway analysis indicated that SDMs were involved in 32 pathways, such as phenylalanine metabolism, histidine metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, alanine aspartate and glutamate metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, and tyrosine metabolism. These results provide a theoretical foundation for understanding the impacts of VD3 on pearl production traits in pearl oyster and reinforce forthcoming prospects and application of VD3 in pearl oyster in aquaculture rearing conditions.

“…China has been one of the major pearl producers in the world. The pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata martensii, has been cultured mainly in the Beibu Gulf, Guangxi of China for the pearl production (Gu et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2018). The Beibu Gulf of Guangxi has been known as China's Maritime Silk Road in the 21 st Century, and it is perceived as the gateway for the cooperation between China and the countries forming the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (Yu and Lim, 2014).…”

Tieshangang Bay in the Beibu Gulf, Guangxi of China, is a strategic location for pearl farming. Although water pollution has been reported in this bay but the general health of the pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata martensii, farmed there has never been assessed. The present study examined the condition of P. fucata martensii farmed in the Tieshangang Bay by analyzing its length-weight relationship (LWR) and relative condition factor (RCF). A total of 111 specimens were sampled for measuring their shell height and total weight for determining the LWR and RCF. The coefficient of correlation of the LWR was high (R2 = 0.93), significant at 0.01 level. Negative allometric growth (b = 2.7048) was observed. However, P. fucata martensii achieved the expected growth in terms of weight, as determined through the RCF (mean 1.13). Negative allometric growth is commonly reported on the wild Pinctada spp. collected from different regions. Apparently, the water pollution in the Tieshangang Bay did not compromise the general health of the pearl oyster cultured there. Nevertheless, further study on the farm’s surrounding water quality and plankton availability is necessary to investigate the interaction between the growth of the oyster and its culture environment. In conclusion, the P. fucata martensii farmed in the Tieshangang Bay was considered healthy and the bay is still suitable for pearl oyster farming.
