Abalone

Red abalone, Haliotis rufescens Introduction: The red abalone, Haliotis rufescens, is a snail-like, univalve species of a very large edible sea snail; it is a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Haliotidae. Historically, red abalone has been the most important commercial species of abalone that was harvested in the California while in the present; it is the only species of abalone still legally supports the recreational free-dive. This species may live for 20 years. Distribution and habitats:

The white abalone is an invertebrate in the phylum Mollusca and the class Gastropoda. It is a member of the family Haliotidae and its scientific name is Haliotis sorenseni ("White Abalone - Haliotis sorenseni"). Abalone are large sea snails prized for their beautiful iridescent shells and have been sought out as food and jewelry since pre-colonial times. Though abalone have existed since the Precambrian era, the earliest harvesters of abalone were Native Americans who lived along the intertidal zone

Abalone (Haliotis midae) is one of the important commercially farmed gastropod species in South African aquaculture (Britz 1995) and it is farmed in intensive land-based, pump ashore, flow-through facilities (Yearsley 2008). The development of the industry has been stimulated by research and development and by a good market demand for abalone both live and processed (Sales and Britz 2001). In abalone farming, the increase in disease outbreaks and their effect on production result in a regular risk

“Why must you always be so obstinate?? You never hear a word I say?? Do you??”. He takes a moment, then continues. “ I just want what's best for you my boy. You are to be a Lord of The Land of Abalone in a few months, and you are acting like it’s “just another day!!” He looks over and sees William “off in never land “ again. He slams his hand down on the desk. William jumps and then closes his book. “For heaven sake, father would you please learn to relax. Everything will work its way out one way

in the beauty and wonder of the things in his life. At the beginning of the story, the author introduces Mr. Abe and the abalone shells as if they were something simple and regular but as the story progresses both Mr. Abe and the abalone shell grow in meaning and the young man understands this concept so he began asking more questions. At the climax, the boy finds an abalone shell himself and then that results

Daniel Case INTRODUCTION Abalone populations are an economic and recreational resource that is threatened by a variety of factors, which include pollution, disease, loss of habitat, predation, commercial harvesting, sport fishing, and illegal harvesting. As a result of the aforementioned factors, abalone populations have declined considerably, pushing some abalone species to the verge of extinction. To help curb over harvesting and better protect abalone populations, it is important for

strength and the types of relationships of the organisms present. (4) Red Abalone populations have declined drastically, to the point of the abalone fishery collapse. Several factors have led up to the collapse including Withering Syndrome, where the organism loses the ability to attach itself to rocks, making it more susceptible to predation, or the organism can eventually wither and starve to death. Sea Urchins and Red Abalone are a part of the same ecosystem, and are competitors of each other.(5)

most nutrient-packed food to date. When Abalone Food Becomes Human Food According to Chris Langdon, of Oregon State University’s Hatfield Marine Science Center, the bacon flavored seaweed was originally developed to be a superfood to feed abalone. The newly announced superfood, known as dulse, had been growing in Oregon State University’s laboratories for 15 years. When researchers fed it to abalone, they found that the resulting growth rate of the abalone was much higher than previously expected

Many tourists come up to Mendocino to fish and dive during the salmon, abalone and crab seasons. We are mainly known for our red abalone here on the coast because there are not many abalone habitats left in the world because so many people go diving for them. But because we have abalone many tourists come to dive, and because they come if benefits our inns here in Mendocino. Mendocino also has salmon here in Mendocino which also
