peer agreement (net): +1abalone (shells) Explanation: abalone [eng. uttal Qb«l«u´ni] (sp.), havsöron, öronsnäckor, Halio´tis, släkte framgälade snäckor med knappt 50 arter, de flesta i Stilla havet och Indiska oceanen. Skalet blir upp till 30 cm; det är skålformat med låg spira och få vindlingar; sista vindlingen är perforerad av en rad hål. Utsidan har klara färger, insidan är pärlemorglänsande. Djuren sitter fast på hårdbottnar. De är eftertraktade som mat och som prydnadsföremål; överutnyttjandet har tvingat myndigheterna i USA att reglera fångsten där.
