The unit price of dried abalone is higher than that of other seafood. It is due to the influence of many different factors, which appear in the early, middle and late stages of catching wild abalone.

The editor will explain it to you in several articles.

• [Before Capture] Climate Change

The climate has been unpredictable in the past decade, with occasional rain causing water pollution and occasional high temperatures causing water temperatures to rise.

Abnormal weather will affect the growth environment of marine life, such as temperature, region, etc.

Many abalone are very sensitive to the temperature of their habitat, requiring relatively cool water temperatures as their primary environmental requirement. Therefore, heat waves can threaten their growth and even affect their survival rates. Furthermore, warmer water temperatures can encourage the growth of other marine life, such as long-spined sea urchins, which grow very quickly and have long, toxic spines. This can reduce abalone habitats and affect their reproduction numbers.

As abalone becomes increasingly scarce and precious, its price will also rise accordingly.
