The black-lipped oyster, scientifically known as *Pinctada margaritifera*, is a marine bivalve mollusk found primarily in warm, shallow waters of the Indo-Pacific region. This oyster is notable for its dark, iridescent inner shell, which can produce high-quality pearls. The black-lipped oyster plays a crucial role in its ecosystem by filtering water and providing habitat for various marine species. These oysters are cultivated for both their pearls and meat, making them economically significant in aquaculture. They thrive in environments with clean, nutrient-rich waters and are often found in coral reefs and lagoons. Sustainable farming practices are essential to ensure the health of black-lipped oyster populations and their habitats.
