THIS WEEK ON MEET THE SCIENTIST: Abalone 101
Join our Collections Manager of Malacology, Lindsey T. Groves, as he shares the story of abalone! The abalone is perhaps the most iconic marine mollusk of California and, in particular, the Red Abalone is the best known species. Unfortunately, several California species are in danger of becoming extinct as they have been overfished for human consumption and have been adversely affected by parasites. However, there is hope for the future as all species have received protection status and will be able to make a comeback. "Abalone 101" will (hopefully) answer all of your abalone questions!
