Abstract
An exfoliation, the detachment of juvenile abalones from a culture substrate, is essential for selection and population density control in abalone culture. Physical instruments and anesthetics are currently available for the exfoliation but the latter is regarded as more effective in reducing physical damage to the animals. In the present study, urea ($Co(NH_2)_2$), a chemical fertilizer, was selected as a anesthetic, and its optimal concentration and sea water temperature for exfoliation of Haliotis discus were determined in order to develop an exfoliation technique which is more economical and effective. A 97% cumulated exfoliation rate was observed within 3 min at all temperatures observed when the concentration rate of urea was 9∼15%. This range of urea concentration can be ideal for both exfoliation and recovery. Also it was found that the higher concentration of urea and temperature the higher exfoliation rate, however, these conditions reduced the recovery rates of the animals tested. These results could indicate that urea is a good tool for exfoliation of various species of young abalones, and urea could substitute for all techniques and anesthetics methods currently available for abalone exfoliation.
