Australian South Sea Pearls
Cultural & industry icon — non-food product

Australian South Sea Pearls

Pinctada maxima

Australia is the world's leading source of South Sea pearls — cultured from Pinctada maxima oysters in the Kimberley region of WA. Pearls themselves are a non-food product; the adductor muscle (pearl meat) is occasionally sold as a delicacy but no widely-cited Australian-vs-imported nutrition dataset exists for it. The pearling industry has deep Indigenous, Japanese, Malay and Filipino heritage and remains an important employer in remote WA.
