Abalone

Abalone (i/ˈæbəloʊniː/ or /ˌæbəˈloʊniː/; via Spanish abulón, from the (Rumsen language) aulón), is a common name for any of a group of small to very large edible sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Haliotidae. Other common names are ear shells, sea ears, and muttonfish or muttonshells in Australia, ormer in Great Britain, Abalone in South Africa, and pāua in New Zealand. The family Haliotidae contains only one genus, Haliotis, which contains about 4 to 7 subgenera.

The shells of abalones have a low open spiral structure, and are characterized by several open respiratory pores in a row near the shell's outer edge.
