Scripps Institution of Oceanography biologists conducted surveys of white abalone deep water habitat in the early 1970 s, finding high concentrations of about one white abalone per square yard. Such densities were comparable to abundance of shallower species of abalone found in previously unfished or protected areas.

The decline of white abalone was attributed to overutilization by commercial and recreational fisheries in the absence of adequate regulatory mechanisms.
