Haliotis discus is a species of abalone native to Japan and Korea.
Haliotis discus was described by Lovell Augustus Reeve in 1846. [3] Two subspecies are known: [1] [2]
Haliotis discus is native to the shallow subtidal waters off Japan and Korea in the north western Pacific Ocean. [1] H. discus discus typically hides between rocks found at depths of 5–10 m (16–33 ft), sometimes as deep as 30 m (98 ft), in the waters around Jeju Island in Korea and Kyushu, Shikoku, and all but the most north eastern areas of Honshu in Japan. [4] H. discus hannai is typically found in exposed habitats at depths of 1–5 m (3 ft 3 in – 16 ft 5 in) in waters the around Korea and the north eastern coast of Honshu and western coast of Hokkaido in Japan. [5]
The size of the shell varies between 100 mm and 150 mm. "This species is closely allied in all characters to Haliotis kamtschatkana but is more elongated than the typical Kamtschatkana. The interior surface has a peculiarly metallic luster, light bronze-green and coppery-red predominating." [6]
Haliotis discus larvae settle on crust-forming coralline algae and feed on diatoms as they develop, moving out into kelp beds as they near maturity. Primary predators of this species include crabs, starfishes, and octopuses. [1]
In H. discus discus, spawning occurs from October to December. Adults feed on seaweeds such as Eisenia bicyclis , Undaria pinnatifida , and Ecklonia species. [4]
The white-backed woodpecker is a Eurasian woodpecker belonging to the genus Dendrocopos.
The Asian parti-colored bat is a species of parti-coloured bat. An adult Asian parti-colored bat has a body length of 6–7 cm (2.4–2.8 in), a tail of 4.3–4.5 cm (1.7–1.8 in), and a wing length of 5 cm (2.0 in). Asian parti-colored bats are distributed across East Asia, from Taiwan through eastern China, eastern Mongolia and Russia (Siberia) to the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
The Ryukyu minivet is a species of bird in the family Campephagidae. It is endemic to Japan. The species was previously thought to be a subspecies of the ashy minivet. Its specific name is named for the Japanese naturalist Seiichi Tegima.

Haliotis fulgens, commonly called the green abalone, is a species of large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Haliotidae, the abalone. The shell of this species is usually brown, and is marked with many low, flat-topped ribs which run parallel to the five to seven open respiratory pores that are elevated above the shell's surface. The inside of the shell is an iridescent blue and green.
