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
