Energy-driven microstructure and mechanical properties of mineral-organic biocomposite – Pteria penguin shell

Materials & Design
The high performance of biocomposites largely stems from their ability to self-organize. Our research on the Pteria penguin reveals a hierarchical columnar calcitic (CC) microstructure essential to its mechanical properties. Electron backscatter diffraction shows that each column constitutes a near-to-single-crystal composed of nanounits.

Microalgae at Two Pearl Oyster Farms in the Abrolhos Islands, Australia, and Implications for an Adductor Muscle Industry

Asian Fisheries Science
The shellfish industry in Western Australia (WA) is expanding and, as part of the WA Shellfish Quality Assurance Program (WASQAP), microalgal populations need to be sampled.

Is there a case to reduce the duration of spat collector deployment for black-lip (Pinctada margaritifera) and winged (Pteria penguin) pearl oysters in the Fiji Islands?

Aquaculture Reports
Spat collection activities, targeting black-lip (Pinctada margaritifera) and winged (Pteria penguin) pearl oysters, support successful cultured round pearl and mabé pearl sectors in the Fiji Islands.

Morphological variations of the winged pearl oyster Pteria penguin (Roding, 1798) from South China Sea

Indian Journal of Fisheries, 2017
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the morphological variations of Pteria penguin (Roding, 1798) in wild as well as cultured populations from South China Sea. A total of 307 samples were collected from five different geographic locations comprising three wild (Pop. 1, 2 and 4) and two cultured (Pop. 3 and 5) populations and 10 measured traits

Developing hatchery culture techniques for the winged pearl oyster, Pteria penguin (Röding, 1798)

, 2011
Pearl culture has traditionally relied on collecting juvenile pearl oysters (family: Pteriidae) from the wild and growing them to an appropriate size to be used in pearl production; a method that has become increasingly less viable due to a corresponding depletion in wild populations. Hatchery propagation of juvenile pearl oysters is now a necessity in

Effect of Temperature on Ciliary Movement of the Gill of Black Banded Wings Pearl Oyster, Pteria penguin (RODING)

NIPPON SUISAN GAKKAISHI, 1958
The present paper aims to make a few contributions to actual culture of black banded wings pearl oyster, Pteria penguin (RODING), which is known for producing extra-fine pearls, describing a phase of life of this shell-fish reflected in the. ciliary motion of gill at different temperatures. The method adopted in this experiment was analogous to that of
