Farming of abalone began in the late 1950s and early 1960s in Japan and China. [24] Since the mid-1990s, there have been many increasingly successful endeavors to commercially farm abalone for the purpose of consumption. [25] Overfishing and poaching have reduced wild populations to such an extent that farmed abalone now supplies most of the abalone meat consumed. The principal abalone farming regions are China, Taiwan, [26] Japan, and Korea. Abalone is also farmed in Australia, Canada, Chile, France, [27] Iceland, Ireland, Mexico, Namibia, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, [28] Thailand, and the United States.

Abalone has been an important staple in a number of Indigenous cultures around the world, specifically in Africa and on the Northwest American coast. The meat is a traditional food, and the shell is used to make ornaments; historically, the shells were also used as currency in some communities. [58] Threat of extinction [ edit ]

Abalone is a type of sea snail that is highly valuable for its meat, which is considered a delicacy in many cultures. The meat of this seafood is tender and has a delicate, slightly sweet flavour. Abalone can be eaten raw (as they are sashimi grade) cooked or dried and is often used in sushi and sashimi dishes. Abalone is also used in traditional Chinese medicine and is believed to have health benefits such as improving circulation and reducing inflammation. Anon (2014). "Abalone Viral Ganglioneuritis".

A suitable area for seaweed cultivation was found by compiling open-source spatial data layers and testing the water temperature and salinity. These species of seaweeds were able to bioremediate the water from the 800 sub-watersheds across the 32 states in the USA that deliver their nutrient and waste rich water into the Gulf of Mexico. The role of using seaweed as a bioremediatory could reduce the environmental impact but also the grown seaweed could be used as a feed source for the farmed animals. Abalone are known by their colorful "pearlescent" inside shell. This is also called ear-shell, ormer in Guernsey, abalone in South Africa, and pāua in New Zealand. Though the population remains far below past historical levels, there are now conservation efforts like Project Ormer, which began in 2018 under the auspices of La Société Guernesiaise. Led by marine biologist Laura Bampton, volunteers carry out surveys at low tide, tagging ormers they find with a coded yellow label, fixed to the shell with water-activated glue.Naturally, not all abalone operations can be undertaken exclusively with a seaweed diet, with environmental limitations dictating what level of seaweed resource can be utilised and where this can be obtained in a sustainable manner. Manufacturing an artificial feed to match seaweed diets is a difficult process to emulate, and so far, there are only relatively few companies that produce a bespoke commercial formulated abalone feed. Any company that makes these feeds can provide significant contributions to suit the farmer's needs and facilitate abalone production. Some commercial operations produce bespoke feeds but these are mainly propriety formulations and closed formulae. Many scientific, government and university institutions have experimented to improve our knowledge of the fundamental nutrition and feed management of abalone but there has been a paucity of contemporary studies in more recent times. The mollusc Concholepas concholepas is often sold in the United States under the name "Chilean abalone", though it is not an abalone, but a muricid. Pollard, Graham (2001).

The color of the shell is very variable from species to species, which may reflect the animal's diet. [5] The iridescent nacre that lines the inside of the shell varies in color from silvery white, to pink, red and green-red to deep blue, green to purple. Murphy, Sean (23 April 2016).

Highly polished New Zealand pāua shells are extremely popular as gifts with their striking blue, green and purple iridescence. Transporting unprocessed abalone shells out of New Zealand is illegal.

LCCN 2002113989.A mantle cleft in the shell impresses a groove in the shell, in which are the row of holes characteristic of the genus. These holes are respiratory apertures for venting water from the gills and for releasing sperm and eggs into the water column. [10] They make up what is known as the selenizone, which forms as the shell grows. This series of eight to 38 holes is near the anterior margin. Only a small number is generally open. The older holes are gradually sealed up as the shell grows and new holes form. Each species has a typical number of open holes, between four and 10, in the selenizone. An abalone has no operculum. The aperture of the shell is very wide and nacreous. [10]
