Biofouling, 2006
A field experiment documented the development of fouling communities on two shell regions, the lip and hinge, of the pearl oyster species Pinctada fucata, Pteria penguin and Pteria chinensis. Fouling communities on the three species were not distinct throughout the experiment.

Assessing Protective Cylinders for Chaplet-Based Culture of the Winged Pearl Oyster Pteria penguin
Journal of Shellfish Research, 2020This study assessed the use of novel, locally made, protective culture cylinders as a means of improving pearl oyster Pteria penguin performance and standardizing culture methods used by mabe pearl farmers in Tonga. Cylinders were constructed from locally sourced wire mesh, for a cost of USD 12.1 each and were used to protect oysters grown on chaplets.

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and Proteomics, 2017
The winged pearl oyster Pteria penguin is a commercially important marine pearl oyster species, with pearls that are quite different from those of other pearl oysters. Among such species, mantle tissue is the main organ responsible for shell and pearl formation, a biomineralization process that is regulated by a series of genes, most of which remain ...

Journal of Proteomics
Byssus is a unique external structure in sessile bivalves and is critical for settlement and metamorphosis. However, little is known about the stout byssus in Pteria penguin. We explored the byssus structure and proteins using scanning electron microscopy and proteomics, respectively. The results revealed that P.

Hatchery culture of the winged pearl oyster, Pteria penguin, without living micro-algae
Aquaculture, 2016Abstract This paper reports on successful hatchery production of the winged pearl oyster, Pteria penguin, without the use of live micro-algae. Larval nutrition was provided by commercially available micro-algae concentrates, Instant Algae® (“Isochrysis 1800®” and “Pavlova 1800®”, Reed Mariculture Inc., San Jose, CA, USA).

Concentrations of 29 elements were analyzed in the marginal area and central area of the shell nacreous layer of the winged pearl oyster Pteria penguin using a laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. Color of the two shell areas was determined using the color parameter values of lightness, greenness/redness, and blueness/yellowness.

Dynamic structural color from the one-dimensional photonic structure in the nacre of Pteria Penguin
Optik, 2016Abstract Dynamic structural color in the nacre of Pteria Penguin was reported in this paper. The structural color and microstructure of the nacre were investigated by reflection spectra, theoretical simulation, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The results indicate that the nacre has one-dimensional photonic structural characteristics,

Optimizing mabé pearl culture with the winged pearl oyster, Pteria penguin, in the Kingdom of Tonga
2021The winged pearl oyster, Pteria penguin (Röding, 1798), is widely cultured for the production of high-quality mabé pearls (half-pearls) in the Kingdom of Tonga and the Pacific. Mabé pearl culture provides a sustainable, culturally appropriate income source to many remote coastal communities and supports a diverse range of pearl-based livelihoods.

Pteria penguin were collected at Orpheus Island, north-eastern Queensland to observe sexual development, sex ratio and changes in morphometric relationships during growth. P. penguin are protandrous hermaphrodites, with all sexually mature oysters below 88.8 mm dorso-ventral height (DVH) being males.
