Extract

There is a long history of research on the ormer, Haliotis tuberculata L., in the Channel Islands. Stephenson (1924) was concerned with the reason for the diminution in the number of ormers off the shores of Guernsey and undertook a three months' investigation during the summer of 1923 and published brief notes on his results for further investigation. Tanner (1926) also made some brief notes on various aspects of the biology and ecology of the ormer which he said were based on 30 years' observation. In two reports (1929, 1937), Crofts dealt with aspects of bionomics, anatomy and early development of ormers with brief accounts of reproduction. Brehaut (1957) reported tagging experiments on the movement and growth of ormers and Forster (1967I gave more detailed information on these aspects, having earlier (1962) published a study on the quantitative measurement of the ormer population.
