Transportation methods for restocking of juvenile sea cucumber, Holothuria scabra.
Type: Journal Article
The sandfish, Holothuria scabra, is a heavily exploited sea cucumber species. Minimising stress in the transportation of hatchery-produced sandfish juveniles to release sites is critical for successful restocking. Replicate ...
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 ...
Developing technologies for restocking sandfish: Update on the WorldFish-SPC project in New Caledonia.
Type: Journal Article
The WorldFish Center project to develop strategies for restocking sea cucumbers is now in its fourth year. Its main purpose is to develop optimal release strategies for the restocking of sandfish (Holothuria scabra). ...
Effective fluorochrome marking of juvenile sea cucumbers for sea ranching and restocking
Type: Journal Article
Marking of skeletal body parts of marine animals with fluorochromes, such as tetracycline and calcein, can provide a valuable tool for mark-recapture studies. In recent decades, both fluorochromes have been used extensively ...
Spatio-temporal and size-dependent variation in the success of releasing cultured sea cucumbers in the wild
Type: Journal Article
Large-scale releases of cultured “sandfish,” Holothuria scabra, were used to examine size- and density-dependent effects on survival among sites. Juveniles were marked by fluorochromes in 3 size classes and released into ...
