A univalve mollusc with a flat, smooth, pale, oval shell, containing a large muscular foot with a bright green frill or lip.
It’s found along Australia’s southern coast, off Victoria, South Australia, northern Tasmania and Western Australia.
The most common aquaculture Abalone species, it’s farmed mainly in South Australia, (although Victoria and Tasmania have some farms) and is often harvested at 3 years of age and sold as ‘cocktail’ Abalone.
