Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a part of the Ceylon Marine Biological Reports, delves into the intricate world of pearl bank currentsâ"both superficial and deepâ"in the Ceylon pearl banks. The author, an experienced marine biologist, draws on five years of research and extensive field observations to provide a comprehensive understanding of these currents and their impact on the local oyster population. The book explores the historical context of pearl fisheries in Ceylon, highlighting the enigmatic nature of oyster distribution and the significant role currents play in determining the abundance and productivity of pearl banks. Through detailed analysis of drift bottle experiments and observations, the author uncovers the complex interplay between surface and deep currents, influenced by seasonal monsoon patterns. Beyond its scientific value, the book addresses practical concerns related to pearl cultivation and conservation. The author emphasizes the need for a dedicated Marine Department to enhance marine resources and safeguard the sustainability of the pearl industry. The insights presented in this book are crucial for anyone interested in marine biology, environmental conservation, and the history of pearl diving in Ceylon.
