Abstract

Abalone is a marine gastropod (single shelled mollusk) that has a big foot muscle, inhabits rocky and coral reefs, and feeds mainly on seaweeds. There are about 100 species of abalone in the world but only 20 are of high commercial importance. In the Philippines, the abalone species are Haliotis asinina, H. varia, H. ovina, and H. glabra but it is H. asinina which has high commercial value. Live abalones command a high price of P250-300 per kg (15-20 pieces; P55 = US$1). Middlemen or processors blanch these to remove the shell and gut. The blanched meat is sold at P450-550 per kg.
