Limited genomic signatures of population collapse in the critically endangered black abalone (Haliotis cracherodii)

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract The black abalone, Haliotis cracherodii, is a large, long‐lived marine mollusc that inhabits rocky intertidal habitats along the coast of California and Mexico. In 1985, populations were impacted by a bacterial disease known as withering syndrome (WS) that wiped out >90% of individuals, leading to the closure of all U.S.
