The common species is collected for food by coastal people in many parts of the area (Ref. 349). Inhabits rocky and coral-rock bottoms, or on stones and larger shells. Also found in shallow subtidal zones (Ref. 349). Members of the family Patellidae graze on encrusting lichens and algae, or scrape tissue from kelp (Ref. 349).
