Figure 1. Map showing the geographic range of the black abalone (Haliotis cracherodii). Circles indicate specimen records, squares indicate literature record, question marks show a dubious record. Dots in red are new records not published³⁹, green dots are from the Australian Museum, Sydney. The continuous line shows the range that is generally agreed on by experts and the broken line represents range that is mentioned by some experts.
