Spatio-Temporal Variation in Growth Performance and Condition of the Winged Pearl Oyster Pteria penguin by Sophie E. Gordon, Sophie E. Gordon, Max Wingfield, Max Wingfield, Patrick F. Smallhorn-West, Patrick F. Smallhorn-West, Siola’a Malimali, Tu’ikologahau Halafihi, David S. Schoeman, David S. Schoeman, Paul C. Southgate, Paul C. Southgate

“…This study therefore recommends that optimal culture sites for P. penguin in Tonga are characterized primarily by warmer water temperatures (25–30°C) and low wave exposure (<15 joules m2 day–1). Culture of P. penguin at sites with more suitable environmental conditions enables pearl production to begin up to 34.2 % (6.5 months) earlier than at less-suitable sites and this may greatly influence mabé pearl farm profitability and feasibility.…”
