Southern Seas Abalone??

Our abalone seed farm that we have had all these years is called, CULTIVOS ABALONE Sociedad Anonima, or C.A.S.A. This is our hatchery and seed production farm that some of you have been here and seen, Kim, Steven and Karla, Linda and Diana, it is an abalone hatchery where we culture abalone up to one year which are then shipped live south and are grown out for three more years in the cold southern seas to market size. We have always sold our seed up till a few years ago when we entered into our own growout production at a small level. We bought land and water rights and installed a small barrel culture facility off the island of NEPUE, a small southern Chiloe island. Just recently, we took on a California partner, named Mark Pender, and our growout farm in the south will go from small to pretty huge this year. We are already shipping abalone to California just as samples to a friend, in hope to get into the fine dining restaurant markets there, and of course, the Asian market is where its at and Chilean growers already ship lots there. So, we need a good name for our live, fresh frozen and canned abalone that will be marketed throughout the world. We have come up with some but nothing perfect so far. Southern Seas Abalone, Island Abalone, they all sound like warm water areas. Blue Diamond Abalone as it doesn´t have to be Chile specific, but we do like the connection. Any names to chew on would be most appreciated!!! You are such a creative group of people and so I thought, sending it out to you all we might nail something great! Mike likes Cold Bay Abalone. For me its not quite right. Southern Chile is very cold, rainy, fijords, perfect aquaculture territory. Anyway, thats what we are doing here these days, for anyone who wasn´t quite sure what Mike and Lizanne are still doing in Chile! Haha. I love being in communication with everybody once again, however non personal they say computers are, your pictures and typed words have made the distances feel more than a little closer indeed. Thank you so much. xoxo

Tom Sr likes High Water Abalone ---- get it high on the cliffs abalone... okay well up out of the ocean.
He is also thinking Blue Water Abalone and White Water Abalone. My preference High Water Abalone.

South Pacific Abalone


South Pacific Chilean Abalone Actually I think "SPCA" may not be the letters you are looking for. I think that is a company stopping cruelty to animals

While the other suggestions are all very clever and cheeky, I like Southern Seas Abalone- you could also get a boat and call it the SS Abalone :)
