61 specimens of pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata) were collected from Bandar-e-Nakhyloo in Hormozgan province and were subjected to biometrical measurements. The measurements carried out included dorsaventral and anteria-posteria measurements along with hinge length, Thickness, Muscle weight, oyster weight without shell, total body mass excluding gill, and total body mass. The maximum correlation coefficient (r=0.69) was obserued between total oyster weight and its weight without shell. In contrast, the least correlation coefficient (r=0.04) was found between thickness and muscle weight. It was revealed that the correlation between total oyster weight and hinge length follows a curvilinear pattern (r=0.34). Additionally correlation between dorsaventral measurement and total oyster weight showed a similar pattern (r=0.52). An estimate of available oyster muscle for conserving is given in the paper. Also, frequency, body weight without shell, muscle weight, dorsaventral measurements, .....
