Introductory reviews in the book focus on the evolutionary origin, radiation and modern relationships of the genus \u003ci\u003eHaliotis\u003c\/i\u003e. Further papers review aspects of the reproductive process, larval energetics, mechanisms of larval settlement, and the ecology of settlement. Feeding deterrents and attractants, and the relation between food and growth are reviewed in a later section of authoritative papers. The natural mortality of abalone and its causes, predators and diseases are thoroughly reviewed. Several papers summarise information on the withering syndrome afflicting black abalone in California. A series of excellent papers and reviews then consider the problems of managing abalone fisheries. The models used are reviewed and examples given of the application of models to specific fisheries. Further papers provide new information on stock enhancement and the book concludes with case studies of the eight major abalone fisheries of the world with a review of the management of each. The book is divided into eight sections as follows: \u003cb\u003ePart I\u003c\/b\u003e - Evolution and distributuion. \u003cb\u003ePart II\u003c\/b\u003e - Physiology, genetics, reproduction. \u003cb\u003ePart III\u003c\/b\u003e - Larval ecology and settlement. \u003cb\u003ePart IV\u003c\/b\u003e - Feeding, growth. \u003cb\u003ePart V\u003c\/b\u003e - Marketing, disease and predators. \u003cb\u003ePart VI\u003c\/b\u003e - Fishery biology, modelling. \u003cb\u003ePart VII\u003c\/b\u003e - Case studies of fisheries. \u003cb\u003ePart VIII\u003c\/b\u003e - Culture.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003eS.
