		The Abalone is a nocturnal, herbivorous mollusc which belongs to a primitive group of marine snails of the class Gastropoda, the largest of all gastropods.
		Care must be taken during the nucleation process not to cut the abalone because they have no mechanism to coagulate their blood, this means, if an animal sustains a cut it can bleed to death or it may die from the lack of mobility that results when the muscle clamps the wound closed.
		The technological developments in abalone pearl acquaculture over the past 8-10 years mean that the industry has now amassed the skills and knowledge necessary to produce a pearl of the highest calibre that is prized for its aesthetic beauty.

		Abalone are dioecious broadcast spawners, releasing their eggs and sperm directly into the seawater.
		The abalone fishery is a valuable resource with most of the returns coming at this stage from exports of meat and from a whole range of products derived from the uniquely coloured shell (Tong and Moss, 1989).
		Abalone is mainly consumed in Chinese restaurants and at hotel banquets, especially during occasions such as weddings, birthdays and special social gatherings.
