Excellent work. Grow the Abolone up on the beach and stop feeding the White Sharks.

Clam and abalone pizza with a garlic white cream sauce... yum. Bacon, tomato, onion, mushrooms... what else?

I miss going Abalone diving at Cardiac Hill and Salmon Creek and Shelter Cove, because Abalone is my absolute favorite food that I have to ever eaten and I started abalone diving when I was 12 years old until I was in my thirties and It was getting more expensive to go diving so I ended up having to quit diving, I don't know how people can grow what they call pocket abs because the regulations stated that green or pink Abalone had to be a minimum of 7 inches across before you could legally take them and the Black Abalone was a bit smaller at about 5 inches but now they allow people to have these pocket abs that I swear look like they're being poached because they are so much smaller than what I used to dive for.

Don't fret mate, those baby abalone taste like crap, NO WILD TASTE at all, they can have them. Sounds like you California diver? I have harvested California Abs all my life, we sure miss the treat of a wonderful table fair.

@@MrSoarman In California we bought a house in 1963. the owners were into jewelry and rock hounding, but the abalone shells they left (returned to Aus.) were ten inches across. I'd imagine even though I dived off Calif. in the seventies that size just isn't seen any more.

After reading yr cmt, I took a very long deep breath. Very long long sentence.✍🙏🙏

[@noyopacific]

Abalone diving in California was stopped in 2017. There was a cascade effect where disease had wiped out the sunstar starfish. This led to a population explosion of the sunstar's main food source, purple urchins. The urchins ate and devastated the kelp beds which had kept abalone fed. Abalone then starved and many died. There are some signs of recovery but it looks like it will be a long time before diving for abalone might ever be allowed again.

from what i heard a competitor poisoned the water source that only affect small creatures

No.

[@carolinejayes157]

Good news ,we want more abalone farms investment ,and research.!

[@jeremesalazar3134]

What a wonderful industry you created there sir. Is it possible sir to culture the same species in our locality. Thank you very much. God bless you.

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

Should always use local species so when some get loose (and they always do) you don’t introduce an invasive species…..
