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 ...
Overview of sea cucumber aquaculture and sea-ranching research in the South-East Asian region
Type: Conference Paper
South-East Asia has traditionally been the global centre of production of tropical sea cucumbers for Chinese markets. Early research into culture methods took place outside this region, notably in India, the Pacific region ...
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 ...
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 ...
Pacific: improving livelihoods for coastal communities in the Pacific
Type: Brochure
The island nations of the Pacific depend heavily on coral reef and coastal fisheries resources – globally, the highest per capita fish consumption is in the Pacific islands. Coral reefs support a rich variety of animals ...
How to produce 100 tonnes of sandfish
Type: Journal Article
The article is based on an ongoing collaboration in Vietnam between the WorldFish Center (formerly ICLARM) and the Ministry of Fisheries, at the Research Institute for Aquaculture No. 3, Nha Trang City, Khanh Hoa Province. ...
An external check for disease and health of hatchery-produced sea cucumbers.
Type: Journal Article
Sea cucumber diseases that arise in the hatchery can cripple production and undermine restocking programmes. A rapid protocol for the external examination of juvenile sea cucumbers was developed in order to screen for ...
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 ...
