Haliotis midae, known commonly as the South African abalone or the perlemoen, is a species of large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Haliotidae, the abalones.[2]
It is highly sought after by criminal organisations and a thriving black market exists for it, leading to a catastrophic decline in stocks.[1]
