That is my understanding. But abalone are off the menu right now. Over harvesting and disease have drastically reduced their numbers down here. Twenty five year ago there were tide pools with abalone piled up three deep, in densities exceeding 100 animals per square meter.

We have affected the ocean very badly, although there are signs that things may be looking up.
