The price of an ordinary fresh abalone is about 5- 15 yuan, and 50 to 100 per catty, so it is not very expensive. The more expensive abalone is one thousand yuan.

Abalone, a mollusk belonging to the family Haliotis, is distributed in the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. It is known as the "crown of table treasures" and is listed in the Red List of Endangered Species of the World Conservation Union.
