Question

Do Pearls are obtained by killing mussels???​

Answer 1

Keshi pearls are produced by many different types of marine mollusks and freshwater mussels in China. Keshipearls are actually a mistake in the cultured pearl seeding process. In seeding the cultured pearl, a piece of mantle muscle from a sacrificed oyster is placed with a bead of mother ofpearl within the oyster.

Although clams and mussels can also produce pearls, they don't do so very often. Most pearls are made by oysters, and they can be made in either freshwater or saltwater environments. ... Nacre is the material that forms the oyster's shell.

Hope this helps :)

Mark it as brainlist if u r satisfied...

Answer 2

Yes, because the shell has to be pried open to get to the pearl. The oyster isn’t wasted, though. It’s used as food.
