I report here the depletion of the pearl oyster (Pinctada imbricata) beds off the coast of Cubagua, Venezuela, in the sixteenth century and the replacement of the oyster by the turkey-wing mussel (Area zebra). I used historical tax data to conclude that the rapid depletion of this resource was the result not only of overexploitation in a short period of time but also of the ecology of the place used by humans to carry out such activity. Under conditions of ecological stress generated by overexpoloitation, the turkey-wing mussel outcompeted the pearl oyster, thus preventing its recovery. Finally, I propose that the exploitation of the pearl oyster beds directly influenced the demographic, social, and cultural conditions of the indigenous human populations in the Caribbean and, to a certain extent, in Africa.}, keywords = {bivalvia, conservation, mollusca, pearliculture, pinctada, pteriidae, pterioida, pterioidea}, url = {://000184452900014}, author = {Romero, A.} } @inbook {7266, title = {Pearl oysters}, booktitle = {The commercial molluscs of India}, series = {ICAR Bulletin of the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute}, volume = {25}, year = {1974}, pages = {84-105}, publisher = {Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute}, organization = {Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute}, address = {Cochin, India}, keywords = {biogeography, bivalvia, ecology, embryology, mollusca, morphology, pearliculture, pinctada, pteriidae, pterioida, pterioidea, reproduction, taxonomy}, author = {Rao, K.
