Pearl Oysters
All pearl oysters belong to the family Cichlidae. Most pearl oysters belong to the genus Meleagrina. The
genus is also known as Margaritifera or Pinctada. These oysters are not related to the true oysters.
In reality, almost all mollusks that can bear shells can form and secrete pearls. However, not all pearls are
considered to be valuable. Pearls can be produced both in freshwater as well as the saltwater environment.
Freshwater mussels can also produce pearls that have commercial values.
