An Abalone is a Shell fish found in many oceans around the world and often described by what colour the shell or the outside appearance of the flesh is. The shell is Ovoid in shape with perferations (Holes) running along one side the shell itself rather loks very similar to a pebble from above, the flesh however looks more like the "Foot" of a rather large snail with the exeption that it is not elongated as most snails are.
Abalone shells have a low, open spiral structure. The thick inner layer of the shell is composed of mother-of-pearl which is iridescent.
Maybe yes or maybe no,because now humans eat abalones for festivals and so on but luckily abalones are sold expensively, if you want to save the abalones you should eat less abalones or if you can don't eat abalones at all I said maybe. No, they are far from endangered.
Abalone are consumed not only by marine animals, but by humans as well. The only protection that abalones have is their shells.
Abalones eat clam chowder.supplement. In New Zealand, the Paua, our local abalone with a green-blue shell, feed on algae and slimes on the rocks. They live mainly near the tidal zone, for that is where the algae get enough sunlight to do their thing.
Many things eat abalone, such as seals, who pry them open to eat the fleshy insides. Some species of birds also eat them.
An Abalone is about the size of your hand but I think alittle bigger. Hope this helps, ☺Spongeyhead☺
they just act like clams.
Karana liked to eat red abalones the best. She found them to be the most delicious and plentiful on the island.

I have netted six abalones already!
Karana waits for a few starfish to feed on the abalones because she believes it is a sign that the abalones are safe to eat. Starfish are known to be sensitive to toxins in the water, so if they are feeding on the abalones without any ill effects, it indicates that the abalones are likely not contaminated or poisonous.

yes they are nocturnal
Karana successfully dries out her abalones by constructing a fence made of driftwood and sealing the top with sinew. This barrier prevents the seagulls from reaching the abalones and helps protect them from being eaten.
usually on rocks if they are on the beach
At low tide the children collected abalones, their parents cooked the molluscs and sold the shells to a man who made buttons and jewelry from them.
David L. Leighton has written: 'The biology and culture of the California abalones' -- subject(s): Abalone culture, Abalones
The abalones needed to be guarded on the Island of the Blue Dolphins because they were a valuable food resource for the island's inhabitants. Protecting the abalones ensured that there would be enough food to sustain the island's population, especially during times of scarcity or famine.
