Local sea scallops x pearl farm 🐚

Having just introduced 🌊the "plankton" in seawater, why not also introduce the #pearloysterfarm located in Sai Kung. Because the successful cultivation of pearls is closely related to water quality‼ ️ ——· 🦪🐚 The Secret of Pearl Cultivation㊙️ ·—— The children were more than happy to help out on the fishing raft. Before starting work, the children sat down and listened to the history of pearl farming and the comparison of pearls farmed in different waters. Taking this farm as an example, due to the influence of water quality, natural environment and water flow, only Akoya pearls can be cultivated. The staff also cut open a pearl oyster and introduced the structure of the pearl oyster. The "mantle" is the key to the growth of natural pearls, and needs to be manually implanted into the core of the pearl oyster along with the "pearl nucleus". After one year of inserting the pearl nucleus, the pearl oyster has secreted enough nacre to cover the pearl nucleus, and the staff can then collect it. ——· 🦪🐚 Parents’ Guidance•Practice Session㊙️ ·—— Be extra careful when walking on the fishing raft 🏃🏻‍♂️. Because the fishing boat is surrounded by sea, even under the wooden planks underfoot is sea. The staff removed the wooden boards one by one and took out the "cages" stored in the water, allowing adults and children to see the rich and diverse marine life. I heard the "wow‼️wow‼️" sound Attached to the cage are plants that can also filter seawater🪸, as well as small crabs🦀, shrimps🦐, aquatic insects, etc. However, the children were not surprised by such a "spectacular" scene. Not only did they try to scare the marine life, they also removed the creatures and released them back into the ocean🌊. Finally, it’s time to pick up the knives and start the “shell cleaning work”. Scrape off the organisms attached to the surface of the shells to avoid hindering the pearl oysters from breathing and filtering seawater🫁 Although the work is not difficult, adults must watch the children carefully to ensure that they use the knife correctly🔪. If you are interested in taking the pearls away, you can also pay to "open the shell" on the spot and see what color and size the pearl is. Children can do the whole process by themselves - wiping the shell, opening the shell, and taking out the pearl. Afterwards, you can try the clam meat to taste the fishing 🎣. ———— ·↘️Practical information · ———— 🌹Mother's Day is coming soon. If you mothers want to experience pearl mining with your children, you can also make jewelry with the opened pearls.
