ABALONES have been an important food source since ancient times. Recent
decline of abalone populations, and abalone's increasing popularity as a food
item have generated much interest in aquaculture, the rearing of abalones in
a regulated environment. This research monograph is a readily accessible
reference featuring the detailed structure of various organs and tissues of
Haliotis. The many electron micrographs, illustrating morphological
details, are accompanied by brief text. Contents include: Development, External
Features, Shell Mantle Cavity, Digestive and Nervous Systems, Circulatory
System, Urinary and Reproductive Systems, Foot, and Skin.
