Description
editThe shell size varies between 7 and 25 mm (0.28 and 0.98 in). The oblong-ovate shell is spirally peculiarly rudely ridged. The ridges are very irregular and rather scaly, somewhat smooth next the perforations which are slightly tubiferous and distant. The coloration is reddish-orange. The interior surface is silvery. This is a very characteristic species, to which there is little or no approximation in any other.[4]
Subspecies
editThere are two subspecies:[3]
- Haliotis jacnensis jacnensis Reeve, 1846
- Haliotis jacnensis kershawi Owen, 2012

It resides at depths between 0 and 50 m (0 and 164 ft).[1]
