A gastropod shell of the family Haliotidae in the class Gastropoda of the phylum Mollusca. It is an ecological type of the black awabi H. (N.) discus found from the Tohoku region to Hokkaido, and is the most important species of abalone in marine biology. The shell is elliptical, thin, and has many irregularities. It is cultivated as a food source, starting with the production of seedlings. When transplanted to warm currents, it grows much faster.
