Taxonomy of the heavily exploited Indo-Pacific sandfish complex (Echinodermata: Holothuriidae)
Type: Journal Article
Two commercially valuable holothurians, the sandfish and golden sandfish, vary in colour and have a confused taxonomy, lending uncertainty to species identifications. A recent molecular study showed that the putative variety ...
Observations of two Holothuria species (H. theeli and H. portovallartensis) from the Galapagos
Type: Journal Article
Two little known species of Holothuria (H. theeli and H. portovallartensis) were observed in the Galapagos 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 ...
Preservation of genetic diversity in restocking of the sea cucumber Holothuria scabra investigated by allozyme electrophoresis
Type: Journal Article
Population genetics analyses should be considered when releasing hatchery-produced juveniles of the sea cucumber Holothuria scabra when spawners from nonlocal populations are used. In New Caledonia, within-region genetic ...
Natural hybridisation does not dissolve species boundaries in commercially important sea cucumbers
Type: Journal Article
The study of species boundaries in areas of sympatry provides important insight into speciation processes. We investigated whether (i) two sympatric holothurians, Holothuria scabra and H. s. var. versicolor constituted ...
