No, it is not necessary to kill the oysters. In freshwater pearl farming approx 32 pearls can be obtained at a time and then the mollusk is re-nucleated. Saltwater pearls can produce one pearl at a time and during a life span it can give 4-5 pearls. After that most of the time it is left in the water to live at its own.
