11.1.2 Salinity
Generally pearl oysters seem to prefer high salinities. They can tolerate a wide range of salinity (24-50ppt) for short duration of 2-3 days. Salinities; below 14ppt and above 55ppt are known to be fatal for pearl oysters. Normally they prefer to live in waters with narrow changes in salinity. |
