The water flow velocity is a crucial environmental physical factor that drastically impacts the survival and stock distribution of marine organisms. To facilitate the restoration of wild stocks of Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) and increase the success rate of release, abalones were monitored for 24 h without interruption in an experimental unit (developed in-house) to assess the flow velocity preferences of marine mollusks. Abalones tended to keep away from areas with higher flow velocities (> 5 cm/s) and they preferred to stay in areas with lower flow velocities ( 20 cm/s to improve the efficiency of bottom-sowing stock enhancement.
