Paua shell is marine gastropod, and a species of the genus Haliotis . They’re big, turquoise sea snails which cling to underwater rocks with their one large foot, and live only in New Zealand waters. They live in the shallow rocky waters of New Zealand’s coastlines, but are most common in the cold waters around Stewart Island and Southland.

Paua have separate sexes, and mature paua usually spawn in the spring and autumn, when the temperatures are colder. They have eyes, a mouth and tentacles and breath through gills.
Is paua only found in New Zealand.
