Facts about paua

Appearance: Roughly oval shaped shell, with a row of several holes used for breathing and reproduction. New Zealand’s paua, (known as abalone in other countries). Paua are all unique species of abalone found only in New Zealand. They are distinguished by their brilliantly coloured shells. Paua have an oval shaped shell, inside which is a large muscular foot which clings to rocks. They have a pair of eyes, a mouth and tentacles, and breathe through gills which are near their mouth under a row of pores in the shell.

Size: Up to 180mm in length for the black-foot, usually 10-140mm; yellow-foot up to 110mm, and the whitefoot up to 80mm.

Colour: The inside of the shell is multicoloured with blue and green hues predominant in the black-foot; flesh is white with a black covering.

Food: Seaweed.

Habitat: Sub-tidal, rocky coastline.

Predators: Crabs, lobsters, octopuses, starfish and fish.

Availability for fishing: More abundant in the lower North Island and the South Island, where it is colder; available all year round.
