	Abalone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abalone is the American English variant of the Spanish name Abulón used for various species of shellfish (mollusks) from the Haliotidae family (genus Haliotis).
		Abalone is also prevalent in Australian and South African coastal waters and is highly valued.
		Abalone may only be taken in April, May, June, August, September, October and November; abalone may not be taken in July, December, January, February or March.

	Abalone (board game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abalone is a two-player strategy board game which can be quaintly summarized as "sumo wrestling with marbles", as the objective is to push opposing marbles off the edge of the board.
		Abalone tends to draw in new players much more quickly than complicated, slow games such as chess.
		Abalone can also be played by three persons (or more) using the same board with fewer marbles each in three different colours.

	Abalone: Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Abalone shells are unique snail shells, having a single, flat shell with a wide opening for the body and a single row of holes along one side of the shell(the left side).
		Abalone hunters may or may not keep every abalone they pop off the substrate so they are careful not to cut any of their prey.
		As the abalone grows it is the edge of the mantle that adds new shell to the outer rim of the shell (increasing the diameter of the shell) and new layers to the inside (increasing the thickness of the shell).

	Abalone
		The good news, especially in the case of abalone, is scintillatingly strong to financially sustain the fishermen till the next season a year later.
		Abalone which cling together on rocks and corals are plucked out with the help of the knife and deposited in the net bags tied around the waist of the divers.
		This year the demand for abalone is quit high as a company went to the extent of even paying an advance of RO 400,000 to fishermen to supply their abalone catch.

	Abalone
		Abalones reach sexual maturity at a small size, and fertility is high and increases exponentially with size.
		The commercial abalone fishery in California is managed through size limits, limits on the number of permits for commercial abalone divers, and restrictions on harvesting areas.
		Abalone steaks are prepared by removing the abalone from the shell, cutting off the head and viscera, and hand trimming the foot.

	RED ABALONE AND ITS NATURAL HISTORY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Most of the abalone's body under its shell consists of a "foot" for attaching itself to a rock surface and sometimes for locomotion, although a mature abalone generally resides in one spot.
		Abalone feed on algae, and the red or coral color of the outer surface of a red abalone shell (the shell's epidermis) results from consumption of red algae.
		Water taken in by the abalone and passed over its gills exits through a row of holes (apertures) along one side of the shell (although the hole nearest the front (anterior) edge of the shell may be used for water intake).

	California Abalone Information
		In prying abalone off rocks it is important that the ab iron handle be lifted away from the rock so that the tip of the bar does not dig into the bottom of the foot.
		Abalone put on sandy areas or seaweed covered rock surfaces will not be able to clamp down sufficiently to protect themselves from predators.
		Avoiding removal of undersized abalone helps protect abalone populations since any time an abalone is removed from a rock, there is a chance that it could be fatally injured or unable to reattach to a safe location.

	ISA \| Bullet proof abalone
		The colorful oval shell of the red abalone is highly prized as a source of nacre, or mother-of-pearl, jewelry, but the researchers found another non-cosmetic use—the shell has an incredible ability to absorb heavy blows without breaking.
		Abalones quickly fill in fissures within their shells that form due to impacts, and they also deposit "growth bands" of organic material during seasonal lulls in shell growth.
		They pushed back a section of the mantle from the shell of individual abalones, glued 15 millimeter glass slides to the shell, and later withdrew the slides at various time intervals and examined the growth of "flat pearl" with a transmission electron microscope.

	LiveScience.com - Abalone Armor: Toughest Stuff Theoretically Possible
		Abalones create a highly ordered brick-like tiled structure for their shells that is the toughest arrangement of tiles theoretically possible, says Marc A. Meyers of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).
		Abalone shell cannot stop an AK47 bullet, but careful examination of the steps taken by abalone to make their shells may help Meyers and other materials scientists develop lightweight and effective body armor for soldiers, police, spies and others.
		In experiments with abalone shells, Meyers and his graduate student Albert Lin discovered that they are made of irregular stacks of chalk tiles one-one hundredth the thickness of human hair (a total of 0.5 micrometers).

	Abalone, Wild Fisheries R&D Program, Tasmanian Aquaculture & Fisheries Institute, University of Tasmania
		It is the emergent abalone that are caught in the Tasmanian abalone fishery.
		Emergent abalone are also thought to aggregate at different times of the year, possibly in response to changes in water temperatures and/or during the spawning season.
		The distance that abalone larvae disperse is dependent on the time that larvae spend in the plankton, the swimming patterns of the larvae during this period and strength and direction of ocean currents.

	Journal of Shellfisheries Research: World abalone fisheries and aquaculture update: supply and market dynamics
		The abalone world of the 1970s was one with minimal regulation of the fisheries sector, little illegal catch, and a cultured "market size" industry measuring production in kilograms, not tons.
		Cultured abalone: Includes both the farming of abalone on land or sea--contained in man made tanks, nets or structures (intensive culture), and in-sea planting of abalone seeds in artificially arranged substrate or structures, with or without adding food (extensive culture).
		Canned abalone of necessity have some "brand" name on the can label as is the case "2" and "5", however the price of "2" and "5" are in the same range, whereas CalMex "4", with only slightly higher net weight commands, nearly double the price--an example of strong brand name marketing and recognition.

	On the Road to Recovery - the Endangered White Abalone (Haliotis sorenseni) off Southern California
		The decline of white abalone was attributed to overutilization by commercial and recreational fisheries in the absence of adequate regulatory mechanisms.
		Implementing a captive-breeding program for white abalone is difficult for several reasons, including the depths at which white abalone occur (20-60 m) and the fragility of the animals.
		His goal was to locate white abalone, record their positions, and produce high-resolution habitat maps of Tanner Bank, using acoustic remote-sensing tools in combination with an ROV equipped with a GPS (global positioning system)-integrated directional hydrophone.

	State Experts in Race to Save White Abalone From Extinction
		At first, it seemed that white abalone were as limitless as buffalo were during the early 19th century.
		But because white abalone had never been exploited before the 1970s, most were mature, and hence of legal size, when commercial diving got under way.
		Black, pink and green abalone also have experienced catastrophic declines in recent years, and extinction is a definite possibility for them.

	Coastal Panel OKs Expansion of Abalone Farms / But fishermen seek to keep anchorages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The abalone farms will be phased in over a four-year period, but the project will probably not begin for another two years.
		The abalone farms would be established on 75 acres on the west side of Pillar Point Harbor, resulting in the loss of as many as 40 anchorages for fishing boats in the harbor.
		Once the abalone farms are fully established, the hungry mollusks would require an estimated 30 tons of kelp each week -- an increase of more than 20 percent of the current kelp harvest in nearby kelp beds.
