Abstract

Abalone is considered as one of the most valuable fishery products elsewhere in the world. However, landings from legal fisheries are declining year by year because of overexploitation, illegal harvesting, and habitat degradation. Thus, abalone farming plays increasingly an important role in maintaining abalone supply. Methods of abalone production vary country by country and are still developing. Although most developed land-based abalone aquaculture by using closed recirculating systems is more advantageous than conventional abalone production, water treatment systems are essentially required to maintain water quality without saltwater replacement. Water quality standards and water treatment technologies for abalone rearing have been acquired through various experiments. The key to succeeding with abalone culture by closed recirculating aquaculture system is avoidance of accumulation of solids, nitrogen compounds, and recalcitrant dissolved organic matters. Moreover, calcium supplement and adjustment of pH and alkalinity by the addition of some chemicals are required as considering chemical interreaction. Reduction of capital expenditure and operating expense, increase of abalone productivity, and sales and marketing management must be intensively promoted in order to disseminate the technology of closed recirculating system.
