Abalone: Biology, Ecology, Aquaculture and Fisheries is another detailed reference in the "Developments in Aquaculture and Fisheries Science" series that describes the taxonomy of more than 50 abalone species worldwide. The content contains information on the biology, physiology and ecology of each species as well as reproduction, genetics, diseases and parasites of abalone.

The book includes abalone fisheries in several parts of the world and will detail abalone aquaculture in China, Japan, Korea, Australia, Europe, and Western North America.

This reference takes a comprehensive approach to understanding overall shellfish management making it valuable to fisheries, marine biologists, and researchers studying shellfish, aquaculture, and the ocean environment and all those in industry, government or academia who are interested in aquaculture and fisheries and their sustainable futures.
