Distribution of red abalone

Originated in the Pacific coast of the United States and Mexico, it is the most economically valuable abalone in California. In order to develop and utilize red abalone resources, California Pacific Aquaculture Company and Oceanographic Association produced red abalone after 1965. 1970, the Department of Fishing and Hunting of Honshu set up a mariculture laboratory and began to study abalone culture technology. 197 1 and 1974, two abalone farms in Monterey and Port Unime opened one after another. Later, many farmers in this state also started commercial production of red abalone. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the introduction experiments of red abalone and abalone were carried out in China, but there were no successful reports. From 65438 to 0985, the red abalone brought back from California by Dalian Fisheries College gave birth to offspring in seawater culture in Shimiao, Dalian in early May and mid-June of that year. 1985 I 1。 After domestication and cultivation, the green abalone came to Zhanjiang from the counterpart air force of the United States, and also gave birth in batches on Naozhou Island 1987+0 off Zhanjiang. 29. Because red abalone belongs to subtropical species, it is difficult to adapt to the ecological conditions in the northern waters of China, so it has not been able to achieve large-scale aquaculture production; In the coastal waters of southern China, it is impossible to carry out large-scale aquaculture because it is not suitable for algae food.
