Where are abalone producing areas distributed? Detailed introduction to the main producing areas

Abalone producing areas are found in the major oceans, with the greatest variety and quantity distributed along the Pacific coast and around some of its islands and reefs, followed by the Indian Ocean, and the fewest in the Atlantic Ocean. There is no distribution along the Arctic Ocean coast. To date, there have only been no reports of abalone distribution in the eastern coast of North America and the coastal waters of South America. Let us now take a look at these abalone producing areas!

Pacific Ocean

1. Eastern Pacific coast: from Alaska in the north, southward along the west coasts of Canada, the United States, and Mexico, abalone is distributed throughout.

2. Western Pacific coast: from the Kamchatka Peninsula in the north, along Japan, the Korean Peninsula, China, the Philippines, the Malay Peninsula, Indonesia, to Australia, New Zealand, and further south to Macquarie Island, located in the sub-Antarctic more than 1,000 kilometers south of New Zealand, abalone is distributed throughout.

3. No abalone distribution has been found in the Hawaiian Islands.

Indian Ocean

Around the Indian Ocean, along the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea, and the Persian Gulf, and southward along the East African coast through Tanzania and Madagascar to the Cape of Good Hope, abalone is also distributed, with the sea area at the southern tip of Africa producing the most.

Atlantic Ocean

In the Atlantic Ocean, abalone is distributed only along the eastern coast, namely along the West African coast, the Mediterranean Sea, and northward to the southern English Channel, but the distribution is not very large.

Distribution in China

Places in China rich in abalone include Dalian, Jiaodong, and others, and abalone is also distributed in southern China.
