   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Haliotis

Genus of molluscs containing the abalone.

The mantle cavity is displaced to give an asymmetrical arrangement. The shell has a series of holes, each of which is lined with epidermal cells of the mantle. Cilia on the gills draw water into the mantle cavity; the water then passes up over the gills and out through the shell perforations.

Classification

Haliotis belongs to superfamily Pleurotomariacea of the subclass Prosobranchia, class Gastropoda, phylum Mollusca.
