The Akoya pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata, is the major species used for pearl culture in Japan. However, a massive mortality of juvenile and mantle atrophy of adult P. fucata have occurred during summer in Japan's major pearl production areas since 2019, and the symptoms were named “summer atrophy,” where a brown substance was deposited on the inner surface of their shell and mainly at the edge of the mantle.
