Research abstract

Freshwater mussel shell will be implanted with a shell bead or nuclei. The mussel will be placed in the controlled environment of a pond. A flow through system will be installed to recreate similar living conditions that are found in the mussels' natural habitat. Different techniques of implantation procedures will be employed to determine the most suitable methods in which to create a high quality round pearl with the greatest survivorship among the mussels.
