  33. <meta content="Marine invertebrates have long been considered to be resistant to overfishing. However, a growing number
  34. of exploited taxa have declined substantially and even disappeared from parts of their former range. We consider
  35. the case of the white abalone (Haliotis sorenseni); the first marine invertebrate proposed for the US endangered
  36. species list. This high-value species was one of five abalones targeted in the California and Mexico fisheries; it
  37. is now rare and protected from fishing. The biological characteristics of this deep-living abalone indicate that
  38. it was particularly vulnerable to over-exploitation; reduction of density or group size is now known to lead
  39. to declines in fertilization success and recruitment failure. Warning signs of potential problems existed both
  40. pre- and post-exploitation but were not recognized. In particular, serial depletion was not detected because
  41. catch was not analyzed spatially, perhaps because total landings were reasonably stable for the short period of
  42. exploitation. Recent submersible surveys led to estimates that white abalone now number less than 2,600 animals
  43. or 0.1% of the estimated pre-exploitation population size. Densities and estimated population sizes are less
  44. than 100 animals, at all but one location. Alternate explanations for the decline in abundance were considered
  45. and only exploitation-linked factors, such as sub-legal mortality and illegal fishing, were likely contributors.
  46. Episodic recruitment appears to be a characteristic of broadcast-spawning, long-lived species and may make them
  47. particularly vulnerable to over-exploitation. Management strategies based on size limits that allow a few years
  48. of spawning prior to reaching minimum legal size are insufficient. Sustainable fisheries will require multiple
  49. protected areas to preserve brood stock aggregations necessary for successful fertilization." name="eprints.abstract" />
