ABSTRACT This study was conducted to investigate the settlement, growth, survival, and size variability of the abalone Haliotis laevigata on commercial scale. At settlement, two plate conditioning times for the green alga Ulvella lens (conditioned for 6 or 8 wk) were evaluated and compared with plates colonized by different diatom species (Navicula cf. jeffreyi and Cocconeis sp.). In a choice experiment an overall settlement rate of 87% was estimated 3 days after larval release. The...
