Who's working on echinoderm fisheries?
Type: Journal Article
The findings are presented of a literature survey conducted regarding research in echinoderm fisheries. Information was obtained from ASFA for the period 1971-88, the ICLARM library and professional staff collections. ...
Analysis of optimal habitat for captive release of the sea cucumber Holothuria scabra
Type: Journal Article
The success of marine stocking programs hinges on releasing hatchery-produced juvenile animals into the optimal marine habitat. This study sought to identify optimal microhabitat features of coastal seagrass meadows for ...
Efficacy of chemical markers and physical tags for large-scale release of an exploited holothurian.
Type: Journal Article
Hatchery-produced juveniles need to be distinguished from wild conspecifics in order to evaluate the success of restocking experiments and stock enhancement. The commercially valuable sea cucumber Holothuria scabra, or ...
Reproduction of the commercial sea cucumber Holothuria scabra (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) in the Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
Over a 3-year period (1996–1998), reproduction of the commercial sea cucumber Holothuria scabra (Jaeger, 1833) was investigated in the Solomon Islands to determine the spawning pattern and whether gametogenesis is continuous ...
Economics and management strategies for restocking sandfish in Vietnam
Type: Journal Article
This paper assesses the costs and benefits of a proposed project for restocking sandfish (Holothuria scabra) in Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam. It identifies the key stakeholders, institutional framework, management and ...
Variation in short-term survival of cultured sandfish (Holothuria scabra) released in mangrove-seagrass and coral reef flat habitats in Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
Juvenile cultured sandfish (Holothuria scabra) with a mean size of 35.6 F11.4 S.D. were released on soft substrata near mangrove–seagrass and lagoonal coral reef flat habitats in the Western Province of Solomon Islands. ...
Rotational harvesting is a risky strategy for vulnerable marine animals
Type: Journal Article
Sea cucumber fisheries exemplify resource systems under intense exploitation pressure from lucrative Asian markets. Plagányi et al. (1) model the performance of rotational harvests of sea cucumbers on the Great Barrier ...
Spawning and early larval rearing of Holothuria atra
Type: Journal Article
The Coastal Aquaculture Centre (CAC) of the International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM) in Solomon Islands has started to assess the potential of enhancing populations of sea cucumbers associated ...
Detachment and grading of the tropical sea cucumber sandfish, Holothuria scabra, juveniles from settlement substrates
Type: Journal Article
The International Centre for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM) in the Solomon Islands has a 5-year project to develop methods for mass rearing of tropical sea cucumbers for the purpose of enhancing wild stocks ...
Changes in weight and length of sea cucumbers during conversion to processed beche-de-mer: filling gaps for some exploited tropical species
Type: Journal Article
Converting the weights or lengths of sea cucumbers in processed forms (e.g., salted or dried) to their original (live) measurement is essential for standardising data from fishery-dependent surveys and exports. We estimated ...
