ABSTRACT
Bioassay experiments were carried out in order to evaluate values of physico-chemical parameters of the cultured pond water
for induced pearl production in Lamellidens marginalis. The pond was located at Botanical garden of Bipin Bihari P.G. College,
Jhansi. The parameters included for this study were Colour, Temperature, Transparency, pH, Free CO2, DO, Total Hardness,
Calcium, Magnesium and Total Alkalinity of cultured pond water and to maintain them for the healthy growth of mussels
during the whole culture period for obtaining designer pearls.
Key words : Designer pearls, Lamellidens marginalis, Pearl culture, Physico-Chemical parameters.
