Abalones are important marine resources with slow growth rates, posing a challenge for seafood farming. To improve abalone breeding, researchers in Korea are exploring hybridization between different abalone species found in the northern Pacific. By studying the genetic relationships and traits of these abalones, they aim to develop successful hybrids for aquaculture. This approach involves using advanced breeding techniques like selection, crossbreeding, and polyploidy to enhance abalone production and sustainability in aquatic farms.
