There is only one genus in the family Haliotidae and about four to seven subgenera. The taxonomy is somewhat confused. The number of species ranges from about 100 to 130 species (due to the occurrence of hybrids).

Abalone are characterized by a richly coloured inside shell made of nacre. This is also called ear-shell, ormer in Guernsey, perlemoen in South Africa, and pāua in New Zealand.

The meat of this mollusk is considered a delicacy in certain parts of Latin America (especially Chile), South East Asia, and East Asia (especially in China, Japan, and Korea).
