And when it comes to oysters either you can fish them from a river or buy it from the market that too is very cheap usually Rs. 5 per piece. You also need to buy the feed for your oysters too. Just in case if you buy very high-end tools this investment usually goes up to 2-3 Lakhs.

Labour and skills:

It usually requires very less labour as you just have to feed these oysters, hang them and insert pebble-shaped mantle grafts and nuclei into them. The labour required is low but it really requires some good skills.
