The relationship between frequency of cleaning and growth of Pinctada radiata during winter season in Bandar Lengeh coastal waters

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 divided to three groups (n=10) and they were cleaned after every 23±2, 45±2 and 92 days respectively. The rate of mortality due to invasion of fouling organisms was nil, Analysis of variance indicated no significant different in growth rate between the 3 experimental groups. Thus it is suggested that settlement of variance fouling 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.
