Genus
and species: Haliotis midae.
This
particular species of abalone was placed under CITES III trade
controls by South Africa in May 2007. In June 2010, the South African government removed the CITES status on this shell. No CITES permits are required any longer.
The
larger shells (4" and larger) are generally from wild stock found in
the ocean. These shells were harvested legally by commercial canning
operations in South Africa. Because of over harvesting and rampant
poaching, the wild stocks are under threat. The smaller shells are
almost all from commercial aquaculture operations and are a renewable
resource that is not under any threat.
