Description

Procédé de culture de perles stimulé par du liquide extrapalléal. La. présente invention concerne un procédé de culture de perles. ARRIERE PLAN DE L'INVENTION On sait que pour réaliser la culture de perles on utilise un mollusque nacrier receveur, généralement une huître receveuse, ayant une poche gonadique dans laquelle est introduit un nucleus. Lors d'une greffe originale, c'est-à-d±re lorsque l'huître receveuse reçoit un nucleus pour la première fois, on ajoute en outre un greffon sous forme d'un petit morceau de manteau d'une huître donneuse. Lors d'une regreffe, c'est-à-dire lorsque l'huître receveuse a déjà produit une première perle, un second nucleus est introduit dans la poche gonadique de l'huître receveuse et il n'est généralement pas nécessaire de remettre un greffon. Qu'il s'agisse d'une greffe originale ou d'une regreffe, un dépôt significatif de nacre sur le nucleus n'est généralement obtenu qu'après un peu plus d'un an à partir de l'introduction du nucleus et pour obtenir une perle de qualité il est généralement nécessaire d'attendre au moins deux ans . En outre, on a constaté que la cicatrisation de l'incision faite dans la poche gonadique pour introduire le nucleus et la formation d'un sac perlier à partir du greffon étaient des sources de défauts du revêtement de nacre déposé sur le nucleus, ce qui affecte la qualité des perles obtenues. OBJET DE L'INVENTION Un but de l'invention est de proposer un procédé permettant tout à la fois d'accélérer la formation et d'améliorer la qualité du dépôt de nacre sur le nucleus. RESUME DE L'INVENTION Selon l'invention, on propose un procédé de culture de perles en utilisant un mollusque nacrier receveur ayant une poche gonadique, le procédé comportant l'étape d'introduire un nucleus dans la poche gonadique du mollusque nacrier receveur et d'introduire également dans la poche gonadique, au moins une fois pendant la culture d'une perle, un produit stimulant à base de fluide extra- palléal d'un mollusque donneur. On a en effet constaté que le fluide extrapalléal, c'est-à-dire le fluide contenu entre le manteau et la coquille d'un mollusque nacrier avait non seulement une action stimulante pour la formation de la nacre mais permettait également une cicatrisation rapide et régulière de l'incision dans la poche gonadique et une formation rapide et régulière du sac perlier. L'invention porte également sur un procédé de prélèvement de fluide extrapalléal en vue de son utilisa- tion dans le procédé de culture décrit ci-dessus, le procédé de prélèvement comportant les étapes de soumettre tout d'abord le fluide extrapalléal à une action enzymatique, puis de prélever le fluide extrapalléal sur l'élément de coquille du mollusque donneur. Ainsi l'action en- zymatique provoque un décollement du fluide extrapalléal par rapport à la coquille, ce qui permet de recueillir une quantité plus importante de fluide extrapalléal par raclage au moyen d'un racloir souple ou par aspiration au moyen d'une seringue. De préférence, la réaction enzymatique est stoppée préalablement au prélèvement par action d'une anti- protéase ou par dilution. On évite ainsi une détérioration des molécules actives du fluide extrapalléal. DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTION Afin d'obtenir une formation rapide et régulière d'une couche de nacre sur un nucleus introduit dans la poche gonadique d'un mollusque nacrier receveur, le procédé selon l'invention comporte comme étape essentielle d'introduire dans la poche gonadique, de façon ponctuelle ou répétée, un produit stimulant à base de fluide extra- palléal d'un mollusque donneur, nacrier ou non nacrier. Le produit stimulant peut être introduit sous différentes formes dans la poche gonadique. Selon un mode de mise en œuvre préféré de 1 ' in- vention, le produit stimulant est injecté sous forme liquide selon une concentration de préférence voisine de la concentration naturelle du fluide palléal . Selon un mode de mise en œuvre le plus élémentaire, le mollusque nacrier donneur, par exemple une huî- tre du genre Pinctada espèce margaritiféra est sacrifiée lors du prélèvement. A cet effet l'élément de coquille supérieure est retiré par sectionnement du muscle s ' étendant entre les deux éléments de coquille, le manteau est relevé à l'aide d'une pince et le fluide extrapalléal est prélevé directement à la surface de l'élément de coquille inférieure. Le fluide palléal ainsi recueilli est directement injecté dans la poche gonadique du mollusque nacrier receveur, par exemple une huître du genre Pinctada espèce margaritiféra, après introduction du nucleus et du greffon dans le poche gonadique. Selon un mode de mise en œuvre plus industriel, on cherche tout d'abord à assurer un prélèvement d'une quantité maximale de fluide extrapalléal. A cet effet, la coquille d'une huître vivante est ouverte de façon non destructrice connue en soi et la coquille est maintenue ouverte à l'aide d'une cale ou d'un écarteur. L'huître est vidée de son eau en l'inclinant puis le manteau de l'huître est soulevé délicatement et une goutte d'une solution enzymatique, par exemple une solution à 1 % de trypsine est déposée sur le fluide extrapalléal s ' étendant sur la coquille inférieure et le manteau de l'huître est rabattu sur la coquille. Après une action de quelques minutes le manteau est à nouveau soulevé et la réaction enzymatique est stoppée par une goutte d' anti-protéase, par exemple une solution à 1 % de DMSO. Le fluide extra- palléal est alors prélevé sur l'élément de coquille inférieure, au moyen d'un racloir souple ou d'une seringue. Le fluide prélevé est de préférence stérilisé par filtra- tion à 0,2 μm et est ensuite lyophilisé. Il peut égale- ment être conservé par congélation jusqu'à son utilisation. Lors d'une utilisation par injection, le produit stimulant est tout d'abord réhydraté ou décongelé. Lors de la réalisation d'une solution injectable à partir d'un produit lyophilisé, la dissolution du produit lyophilisé peut être réalisée en utilisant une solution stimulante de protéines et de molécules associées d'origine nacrière comme décrit dans le document FR-A-2 843 277. Lors de cette opération la viscosité du produit injecté est adaptée en utilisant de l'eau pure ou un gélifiant pour que le produit obtenu soit facilement injectable tout en ayant une viscosité suffisante pour être retenu de façon prolongée dans la poche gonadique en dépit des flux internes de fluides résultant du fonctionne- ment normal de la poche gonadique. En pratique, une viscosité voisine de la viscosité naturelle du fluide extrapalléal s'est révélée satisfaisante. Le produit stimulant peut également être inséré dans la poche gonadique sous d'autres formes, par exemple sous forme d'une poudre avec laquelle un revêtement est réalisé sur le nucleus avant son introduction dans la poche gonadique, par exemple en utilisant comme liant une solution stimulante telle que décrite dans le document FR-A-2 843 277. Le produit stimulant peut également être conditionné sous forme d'un film en étalant une solution épaisse de fluide extrapalléal sur une surface lisse ou poreuse puis en procédant à un séchage. Selon son épaisseur, le film obtenu peut être utilisé soit pour réaliser un revêtement du nucleus avant son introduction dans la poche gonadique soit en découpant le film selon des morceaux qui sont insérés dans la poche gonadique en même temps que le nucleus et le greffon. Dans le cas d'une introduction de produit stimu- lant par injection, plusieurs injections espacées dans le temps sont de préférence réalisées au cours de la croissance de la perle afin d'accélérer celle-ci. Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de mise en œuvre décrit et on peut y apporter des variantes de réalisation sans sortir du cadre de l'invention tel que défini par les revendications. En particulier on peut réaliser le prélèvement du fluide extrapalléal directement par raclage de la coquille ou par aspiration sans procéder à une étape pré- alable de séparation enzymatique. Dans le cas d'une séparation enzymatique, la réaction enzymatique peut être stoppée par une dilution avec de 1 ' eau pure selon une quantité sensiblement égale à la quantité de fluide extrapalléal contenue dans la coquille du mollusque. A ti- tre indicatif, une huître de l'espèce Pinctada margariti- féra ayant une taille moyenne de 7,7 cm contient 200 μl à 300 μl de fluide extrapalléal et une huître de la même espèce ayant une taille moyenne de 10,9 cm contient entre 800 μl et 1000 μl de fluide extrapalléal. Afin de permettre des prélèvements répétés de façon aisée, on peut également fixer un tube de prélèvement de façon étanche à un élément de coquille en regard d'une partie de manteau du mollusque donneur, ce qui permet d'effectuer des prélèvements selon des intervalles de quelques semaines. Toutefois, il est dans ce cas nécessaire de prendre des précautions pour que le mollusque soit constamment immergé dans son biotope tout en maintenant l'extrémité libre du tube des prélèvements hors de ce milieu. Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en utilisant un mollusque donneur et un mollusque receveur de la même espèce, le mollusque donneur peut être d'une espèce différente de celle du mollusque receveur, le mollusque donneur peut même être d'un genre totalement différent du mollusque receveur tel qu'un céphalopode ou un gastéro- pode . Pearl cultivation process stimulated by extrapalleal liquid. The present invention relates to a pearl cultivation method. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known that in order to carry out the cultivation of pearls a receiving pearly mollusc is used, generally a receiving oyster, having a gonadal pocket into which a nucleus is introduced. During an original transplant, that is to say when the recipient oyster receives a nucleus for the first time, a graft is also added in the form of a small piece of mantle from a donor oyster. During a transplant, that is to say when the recipient oyster has already produced a first pearl, a second nucleus is introduced into the gonadal pocket of the recipient oyster and it is generally not necessary to deliver a graft. Whether it is an original transplant or a transplant, a significant deposit of mother-of-pearl on the nucleus is generally obtained only after a little over a year from the introduction of the nucleus and for to obtain a quality pearl it is generally necessary to wait at least two years. In addition, it was found that the scarring of the incision made in the gonadal pocket to introduce the nucleus and the formation of a pearl sac from the graft were sources of defects in the coating of mother-of-pearl deposited on the nucleus, which affects the quality of the pearls obtained. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION An object of the invention is to propose a process which makes it possible both to accelerate the formation and to improve the quality of the deposition of nacre on the nucleus. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the invention, a method of cultivating pearls is proposed using a pearl shell mollusc having a gonadal pocket, the method comprising the step to introduce a nucleus into the gonadal pocket of the receiving mother-of-pearl mollusk and also to introduce into the gonadal pocket, at least once during the cultivation of a pearl, a stimulating product based on extra-pallial fluid of a donor mollusc . It has indeed been found that the extrapalleal fluid, that is to say the fluid contained between the mantle and the shell of a mother-of-pearl mollusc, not only had a stimulating action for the formation of mother-of-pearl but also allowed rapid healing and regular incision in the gonad pocket and rapid and regular formation of the pearl sac. The invention also relates to a method for extracting extrapalleal fluid for use in the culture method described above, the sampling method comprising the steps of first subjecting the extrapalleal fluid to an enzymatic action. , then take the extrapalleal fluid from the shell element of the donor mollusc. Thus, the enzymatic action causes detachment of the extrapalleal fluid relative to the shell, which makes it possible to collect a larger quantity of extrapalleal fluid by scraping by means of a flexible scraper or by suction by means of a syringe. Preferably, the enzymatic reaction is stopped prior to sampling by the action of an anti-protease or by dilution. This prevents deterioration of the active molecules of the extrapalleal fluid. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In order to obtain a rapid and regular formation of a layer of mother-of-pearl on a nucleus introduced into the gonadal pocket of a receiving mother-of-pearl mollusk, the method according to the invention comprises as essential step of introducing into the gonad pocket, occasionally or repeatedly, a stimulating product based on extra fluid palleal of a donor mollusc, pearly or non-pearly. The stimulant can be introduced in different forms into the gonad pocket. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the stimulating product is injected in liquid form at a concentration preferably close to the natural concentration of the palleal fluid. According to a most elementary mode of implementation, the donor pearl mollusk, for example an oyster of the genus Pinctada species margaritifera, is sacrificed during removal. For this purpose, the upper shell element is removed by cutting the muscle extending between the two shell elements, the mantle is raised using forceps and the extrapalleal fluid is taken directly from the surface of the lower shell element. The pallial fluid thus collected is directly injected into the gonadal pocket of the receiving mother-of-pearl mollusk, for example an oyster of the genus Pinctada species margaritifera, after introduction of the nucleus and the graft into the gonadal pocket. According to a more industrial mode of implementation, it is first sought to ensure a withdrawal of a maximum quantity of extrapalleal fluid. To this end, the shell of a live oyster is opened in a non-destructive manner known per se and the shell is kept open using a wedge or a spacer. The oyster is emptied of its water by tilting it then the coat of the oyster is gently lifted and a drop of an enzymatic solution, for example a 1% solution of trypsin is deposited on the extrapalleal fluid extending over the lower shell and the oyster's mantle is folded over the shell. After an action of a few minutes the mantle is raised again and the enzymatic reaction is stopped by a drop of anti-protease, for example a 1% solution of DMSO. The extra fluid palléal is then removed from the lower shell element, using a flexible scraper or a syringe. The fluid removed is preferably sterilized by filtration at 0.2 μm and is then lyophilized. It can also be stored by freezing until use. When used by injection, the stimulant is first rehydrated or thawed. When producing a solution for injection from a lyophilized product, the lyophilized product can be dissolved using a stimulating solution of proteins and associated molecules of pearly origin as described in document FR-A-2 843 277. During this operation the viscosity of the injected product is adjusted by using pure water or a gelling agent so that the product obtained is easily injectable while having a viscosity sufficient to be retained for a prolonged period in the gonadal pocket despite internal flows of fluids resulting from normal functioning of the gonadal pocket. In practice, a viscosity close to the natural viscosity of the extrapalleal fluid has proved satisfactory. The stimulant product can also be inserted into the gonadal pocket in other forms, for example in the form of a powder with which a coating is produced on the nucleus before its introduction into the gonadal pocket, for example using as a binder a solution stimulant as described in document FR-A-2 843 277. The stimulating product can also be packaged in the form of a film by spreading a thick solution of extrapalleal fluid on a smooth or porous surface and then by drying. Depending on its thickness, the film obtained can be used either for coating the nucleus before it is introduced into the gonadal pocket either by cutting the film into pieces which are inserted into the gonadal pocket at the same time as the nucleus and the graft. In the case of an introduction of stimulating product by injection, several injections spaced apart over time are preferably carried out during the growth of the pearl in order to accelerate the latter. Of course, the invention is not limited to the mode of implementation described and it is possible to make variant embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims. In particular, the extrapalleal fluid can be removed directly by scraping the shell or by suction without carrying out a prior step of enzymatic separation. In the case of an enzymatic separation, the enzymatic reaction can be stopped by dilution with pure water in an amount substantially equal to the amount of extrapalleal fluid contained in the shell of the mollusk. As an indication, an oyster of the species Pinctada margaritifera having an average size of 7.7 cm contains 200 μl to 300 μl of extrapalleal fluid and an oyster of the same species having an average size of 10.9 cm contains between 800 μl and 1000 μl of extrapalleal fluid. In order to allow easy repeat sampling, it is also possible to attach a sampling tube in a sealed manner to a shell element facing a part of the mantle of the donor mollusc, which makes it possible to take samples at intervals of a few weeks. However, it is in this case necessary to take precautions so that the mollusk is constantly immersed in its biotope while keeping the free end of the tube of the samples out of this medium. Although the invention has been described using a donor mollusc and a recipient mollusc of the same species, the donor mollusc may be of a species different from that of the recipient mollusc, the donor mollusc may even be of a genus totally different from the recipient mollusc such as a cephalopod or a gastropod.
