Abstract
Abalone, a marine gastropod inhabiting rocky and coral reef environments, is highly valued, particularly in Asia. The demand for abalone has surged while natural populations have declined over the past 10-15 years, leading to increased prices and expansion of aquaculture. Abalone aquaculture, practiced mainly in Asian countries like Japan, China, and Taiwan, has proven economically viable but remains challenging and time-consuming, with most species taking 4-6 years to reach marketable size. The industry faces several challenges, including various diseases like Withering Syndrome, caused by Candidatus Xenohaliotis californiensis, and Abalone Viral Ganglioneuritis (AVG), caused by abalone herpesvirus. Effective disease management involves biosecurity measures and water quality management. Additionally, enhancing abalone immunity through methods such as immune priming is an area of active research. Techniques like the raft method and careful site selection are employed to optimize production.
