Abstract
The embryonic developmental response of two abalone species (disk abalone Haliotis discus discus, giant abalone Haliotis gigantea) to a drop in salinity with different exposure times was investigated to gain a better understanding of the reasons for the decrease in natural stock populations. Two experimental designs—first, combinations of two salinities (34 and 17 psu) and four exposure times (0, 1, 2 and 4 h), and second, combinations of three salinities (34, 24 and 14 psu) and four exposure times (0, 1, 3 and 6 h)—were tested on disk and giant abalone eggs to determine the effects on hatching onset time, hatching success, percentage of abnormality and survival rate. Hatching onset time increased significantly for both species as salinity dropped and exposure time increased. Both species followed a decreasing trend in terms of hatching success as exposure time increased at low salinity levels. As for abnormality, both species showed a significant negative effect of low salinity and long exposure times. Giant abalone showed better adaptability to long exposure time at low salinity levels, and hence a higher survival rate, than disk abalone.
