Shellfish, such as clams, oysters and cockles, live in freshwater or marine environments. They are filter feeders, meaning they filter water through their body to extract oxygen and tiny sea creatures such as plankton, for food. Shellfish live attached to rocks, or buried in the sand, depending on the species. Some shellfish have the ability to change their sex at a young age, depending on the environmental conditions shellfish larvae are released into. Apart form that, shellfish lead a rather unexciting life.

How can you tell if an abalone is alive?

To determine if an abalone is alive, gently touch its shell; a responsive abalone will retract its foot and close its shell when stimulated. Additionally, you can check for movement or signs of breathing, as live abalones will often move slightly or have visible gill movement. If the shell remains open and there is no reaction, the abalone is likely dead. Always ensure you handle them carefully to avoid harming them.
