R&D undertaken in this project will increase our fundamental understanding of the role genetics plays in production of a premium quality cultured South Sea pearl. When utilised in future selective breeding programs aimed at improving pearl quality traits the information generated will allow Australian pearling companies to be more productive and to maintain a competitive advantage over their rivals. Many rural communities are dependent on pearling companies for their economic prosperity and community identity. Consequently, positive growth of the pearl industry as a result of the proposed R&D will greatly benefit the economic and social wealth of these rural populations.

在这个项目中进行的研发将增加我们对遗传学在生产优质养殖南海珍珠中所起作用的基本理解。当在未来的选择性育种计划，旨在提高珍珠质量性状的信息将使澳大利亚珍珠公司更有生产力，并保持竞争优势，他们的竞争对手。许多农村社区的经济繁荣和社区认同都依赖于珍珠公司。因此，由于拟议的研发，珍珠产业的积极增长将大大有利于这些农村人口的经济和社会财富。
