    Why are there nine holes in an abalone shell?

    Question #90084. Asked by uclageographer. (Dec 19 07 10:37 PM)

    		Haliotis Diversicolor Species. Its common name is "Nine Holes" or "Taiwanese Abalone", since it has 7 open pores on its shell. The first two pores are the water paths, which contain gums for respiration. For the other pores, some are for fertilization by spreading gamete, others are for emitting the waste.
