Viable interspecific hybrids between the abalone Haliotis gigantea Gmelin and Haliotis discus discus Reeve were produced by artificially inseminating H. gigantea eggs with H. discus discus sperm. Past attempts to perform this reciprocal cross have never been successful. The fertilizing ability and hatchability of the hybrids were compared to those of the parental crosses. The hybrid had higher initial mortality at 100 days post-hatch. The shell length growth rate and body weight of the hybrids were significantly higher than those of the parental genotypes at 10 and 13 months post-hatch (P less than 0.05).
