This comprehensive volume contains some sixty papers and reviews
presented at the First International Symposium on Abalone Biology,
Fisheries and Culture held in La Paz, Mexico. Introductory reviews
in the book focus on the evolutionary origin, radiation and modern
relationships of the genus Haliotis. Further papers review aspects
of the reproductive process, larval energetics, mechanisms of
larval settlement, and the ecology of settlement. Feeding
deterrents and attractants, and the relation between food and
growth are reviewed in a later section of authoritative papers. The
natural mortality of abalone and its causes, predators and diseases
are thoroughly reviewed. Several papers summarise information on
the withering syndrome afflicting black abalone in California. A
series of excellent papers and reviews then consider the problems
of managing abalone fisheries. The models used are reviewed and
examples given of the application of models to specific fisheries.
Further papers provide new information on stock enhancement and the
book concludes with case studies of the eight major abalone
fisheries of the world with a review of the management of each. The
book is divided into eight sections as follows: Part I -- Evolution
and distributuion. Part II -- Physiology, genetics, reproduction.
Part III -- Larval ecology and settlement. Part IV -- Feeding,
growth. Part V -- Marketing, disease and predators. Part VI --
Fishery biology, modelling. Part VII -- Case studies of fisheries.
Part VIII -- Culture.
