The relationship between frequency or cleaning and growth of Pinctada radiata was investigated from January to April 1993 in Bandar Lengeh coastal waters. The oysters were devided to three groups (n=10) and they were cleaned after every 23±2 45 ± 2 and 92 days respectively. The rate of morlitlity due to invation of fouling organisms was nil, Analysis of variance indicated no significant differenet in growth rate between the 3 experimental groups. Thus it is suggested that settelment of variance flouling organisms does not produce any significant difference either in mortality a growth rate of pearl P. radiata during whiter season in Bandar Lengeh coastal area......
