Effects of relaxants before embedding nucleus for the survival rate and pearl qualities in Pinctada fucata

Nucleation in the spherical pearl production from Akoya pearl oysters Pinctada fucata (Gould, 1850) obtained low survival rate, and the nuclei were frequently excluded. Using relaxants before nucleation could lower the oysters' metabolism, so that nucleation might be improved. This experiment s...
