Research & Development

Research and development has been the cornerstone of Atlas’s achievements. A scientific approach to pearl oyster breeding and husbandry has seen Atlas produce quality crops consisting almost entirely of beautiful silver and white pearls. 

Atlas has embarked on an ambitious long-term breeding and geneticists program with Australia’s James Cook University. Through developing a unique DNA pedigree, this project will further improve our breeding lines, increasing pearl quality and yield rates. 



The plethora of research and development work accomplished by Atlas over many years is recognized by scientists around the world. Atlas researchers have presented their scientific findings at major international conferences in Europe, Asia and Australia and a number of key publications have appeared in leading scientific journals.
