A motile, rod-shaped, pink–orange pigmented bacterium, designated strain DW01^T, was isolated from the gut microflora of abalone collected from the South Sea (Republic of Korea). Cells were Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive. The major fatty acids were iso-C_{15 : 0} (17.7 %), C_{16 : 0} (13.4 %), iso-C_{15 : 0} 2-OH and/or C_{16 : 1}7c (12.5 %) and C_{17 : 1}8c (10.7 %). The DNA G+C content was 53.7 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DW01^T forms a lineage of the genus Shewanella and is closely related to Shewanella algae ATCC 51192^T (98.3 % sequence similarity) and to other members of the genus Shewanella (91.0–94.9 %). The phenotypic characteristics and DNA–DNA hybridization relatedness data indicate that strain DW01^T should be distinguished from S. algae ATCC 51192^T. On the basis of the data presented in this study, strain DW01^T represents a novel species, for which the name Shewanella haliotis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DW01^T (=KCTC 12896^T=JCM 14758^T).
