Is abalone a crustacean or a mollusk?
Abalone belongs to mollusks.

Abalone, whose name is fish, is actually not a fish. It is a primitive marine shellfish and single-shell mollusk. Because it is shaped like a human ear, it is also called "sea ear". Abalone usually grows on the seabed with low water temperature, covering the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean. It is recognized that the best producing areas are northern Japan and Mexico, and the northeast is also a traditional producing area.

Living habits

Abalone is very delicate and difficult to breed. If you are not careful, you will be "completely annihilated." Therefore, scientific water purification methods are essential. It is impossible to import abalone directly from seawater, and it needs purification. Farmers have been using sand filtration technology to purify seawater.

In addition, ultraviolet seawater purification technology can kill some bacteria and microorganisms that are unfavorable to abalone growth, while retaining microorganisms that are beneficial to abalone growth, which greatly improves the yield of abalone and the survival rate of abalone fry by nearly 70%.
