In fact abalone fisheries in Alaska, California and Mexico have collapsed or declined dramatically, with little warning. Management must rely...

Tackling a critical industry bottleneck: developing methods to avoid, prevent and treat biofouling on mussel farms

Biofouling negatively affects shellfish production through several pathways, including: 1) reducing natural mussel spat settlement rates; 2) preying upon mussel spat and juveniles; 3) competing for food with mussels; and 4) smothering established mussels. These problems are well documented in the...

In situ time-stamping of abalone shells to determine how abalone stocks can be aged.

If abalone can be accurately aged, this would be a fundamental tool for more effective management of abalone fisheries. Several authors have proposed ageing abalone by grinding or cutting abalone shells, and counting the shell layers deposited beneath the spire. Other authors have cast...
