What are Green Abaloni?

Green abalone, scientifically known as Haliotis fulgens, is a type of marine mollusk found primarily along the Pacific coast of North America, particularly in California and Mexico. They are characterized by their distinctive greenish shell, which features a series of respiratory holes along the edge. Green abalones are highly sought after for their meat, which is considered a delicacy, and for their iridescent inner shell, often used in jewelry and decorative items. Due to overfishing and habitat loss, their populations have declined, leading to conservation efforts and regulations on their harvesting.
