Gonands
Not sure about that gonand bit - it sounds more like geoduck than abalone. Anyone care to verify that?

Only found this news article so far, which may have confused abalone gonads with sea urchin gonads/roe. -- Zigger 01:36, 2004 Mar 8 (UTC)

Taxobox
Abalone are gastropods, but you'd never know from looking at this article. Needs taxobox. --Eric Forste 09:35, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Caption Clarification
One of the images says meat of abalone. Is it raw or cooked meat? (I'm ignorant of abalone) Vicarious 03:57, 15 November 2005 (UTC)


 * It looks raw to me. It would be good to have a view of the live abalone from under the shell, showing the body in the shell. Nereocystis 06:39, 15 November 2005 (UTC)


 * It was raw meat. I came home late and my wife was half way through.  If I came home a few hours later, it would have been cooked. Kowloonese 08:34, 15 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Raw, but cleaned. That don't look that neat in the shell. Nereocystis 18:22, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

What's in a name?
"Abalone is the American English variant of the Spanish name Abulón ..." says the article. If it is Am. Eng. only, then what's it called in other dialects? However, I don't think it is Am. Eng. only: that's what they're called in Australia. The American Heritage Dictionary does not list any alternate name. On the other hand, I can't find the word in the Cambridge Dictionary. Also, List of English words of Native American origin notes that the word was originally from the Rumsen language. This would be worth including. However, the American Heritage Dictionary makes not mention of this. Jimp 01:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Sushi

Abalone Farming?
I came to this page to get some information about modern techniques used in abalone farming, but it lacks even a mention of abalone farming. Could someone who is knowlegable fill in this gap in what is otherwise a good article? Thanks --lk 11:28, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
