Abstract
The Namaqualand coast of South Africa has been targeted as a potential ranching area for the abalone Haliotis midae. A series of experiments and models were designed to: assess to what extent the area's babitat may support seeded juveniles, identify the characteristics of successful seeding sites, determine optimal seeding strategies, and investigate population dynamics and economics that may most influence commercial ventures. Most of the experiments took place on the north-west Namaqualand coast; others were carried out along the south-west coast near the Gouritz River.
