The aims of this project were to develop large scale breeding and rearing methods for sandfish (Holothuria scabra) for commercial culture and/or restocking. Wild collected sea cucumbers were initially difficult to spawn, ...
Spawning induction of three tropical sea cucumbers, Holothuria scabra, H. fuscogilva and Actinopyga mauritiana
Type: Journal Article
The current study examines induced spawning in three commercially important tropical sea cucumbers: sandfish (Holothuria scabra), white teatfish (H. fuscogilva) and surf redfish (A. mauritiana). This research forms part ...
Lessons for resource conservation from two contrasting small-scale fisheries
Type: Journal Article
Small-scale fisheries present challenges to management due to fishers' dependency on resources and the adaptability of management systems. The authors compared social-ecological processes in the sea cucumber fisheries of ...
Growth of juvenile Actinopyga mauritiana (Holothuroidea) in captivity
Type: Journal Article
In this study, we examined the growth of juvenile Actinopyga mauritiana in captivity at three levels of stocking biomass, and under two feeding regimes, for 12 months. We chose this species because of its availability on ...

Optimising methods for community-based sea cucumber ranching: Experimental releases of cultured juvenile Holothuria scabra into seagrass meadows in Papua New Guinea
Type: Journal Article
In this study the authors investigated whether short-term protection from predation improved survival of cultured juvenile sandfish released into a range of seagrass habitats located within potential community sea ranching ...
