ABALONE DIVING
Abalone (aba'-lo-nee) Any of several
marine snail species (genus Haliotis, family Haliotidae), found in seas
worldwide. The outer surface of the single shell has a row of small holes,
most of which fill in as the animal grows; some remain open as outlets for
waste products. Abalones range from 4 to 10 in. (10-25 cm) across and up
to 3 in. (8 cm) deep. The largest is the 12 in. (30 cm) abalone (H. rufescens).
The shell's lustrous, iridescent interior is used in ornaments, and the
large muscular foot is eaten as a delicacy.
