Chris Plante
Several organizations in California are working to propagate white abalone and introducing them to the wild to help rebuild populations along the California coast. In his lecture, Aquarium of the Pacific Assistant Curator Chris Plante will describe the Aquarium’s involvement in this project, the history of the abalone fishery in California, and population loss of local abalone species, especially white abalone. He will also discuss the spawning and larval rearing methods that the Aquarium of the Pacific is using to produce and raise abalone.
Plante is the assistant curator of the Southern California/Baja Gallery at the Aquarium of the Pacific. He has eighteen years of experience in the public aquarium industry.
