Endangered White Abalone Program Yields Biggest Spawning Success Yet
Millions of Eggs Bring Program 1 Step Closer to Saving Species
The Bodega Marine Laboratory’s white abalone program has millions of new additions following its most successful spawning ever at the University of California, Davis, facility. Three out of nine recently collected wild white abalone spawned last week, as did seven of 12 captive-bred white abalone. One wild female was particularly generous, producing 20.5 million eggs herself.
