Prevailing knowledge on aquaculture of Southeast Asia: a review

Abalone is a marine gastropod mollusc with significant economic importance in global fisheries and aquaculture. Currently, the abalone culture is actively engaged in Southeast Asia and has gained significant popularity among aquaculturists and aquafarmers in Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia. Abalone also has emerged as a highly profitable source of income for fish farmers in Asian countries. The exquisite taste of abalone has made it a sought-after delicacy, particularly in Chinese cuisine. However, scanty documentation of this marine gastropod has been reported on the development of aquaculture production in Southeast Asia. Therefore, to help bridge the gap, this review emphasised the information and collated ideas on the industrial culture of abalone in Southeast Asia. In this review paper, all issues on abalone culture will be summarised and highlighted,especially on the aquaculture industries of abalone, challenges and constraints in developing the aquaculture of Haliotis spp., and biological features of the abalone. This review paper could be a valuable reference for abalone aquaculture practices in Southeast Asia, with the aim of boosting production and conservation efforts of these marine gastropod molluscs, thereby benefiting abalone aqua farmers in Southeast Asian countries.
