Diet-tissue stable isotopic fractionation of tropical sea cucumber, Holothuria scabra
(Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS), 2013)
To provide a basis for a stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratio \(\mathsf{(\delta^{13}C / \delta^{15}N)}\) analysis to determine the assimilated organic matter in sea cucumber, Holothuria scabra, diet-tissue fractionations ...
The sea cucumber fishery in Palawan, Philippines
(高知大学大学院黒潮圏海洋科学研究科, 2018)
This paper presents the nature of sea cucumber fishery in Palawan, Philippines with information on gathering practices, commonly traded species and secondary accounts on wild populations. Current issues on sea cucumber ...
Growth pattern of the tropical sea cucumber, Holothuria scabra, under captivity
The growth of the juvenile sea cucumber, Holothuria scabra, was studied under captivity to elucidate the growth variation pattern and determine the best-fit growth model to estimate age- and size-specific growth rates. ...
Apparent digestibility coefficient of nutrients from shrimp, mussel, diatom and seaweed by juvenile Holothuria scabra Jaeger
(Wiley, 2014)
The ability of Holothuria scabra to digest nutrients, such as organic matter (OM), protein and carbohydrate from animal and plant feed ingredients was investigated. Four test feeds prepared by mixing sand with single ...
Viability of a bottom-set tray ocean nursery system for Holothuria scabra Jaeger 1833
(Wiley, 2017)
Scaling up the hatchery production of juvenile sandfish Holothuria scabra is constrained by limited hatchery space and the associated high operational costs. To shorten the hatchery rearing phase, ocean nursery systems ...
Metabolic rate characteristics and sediment cleaning potential of the tropical sea cucumber Holothuria scabra
(Ministry of Tropical Agricultural Research Centre, 2015)
The oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and ammonium excretion rate (AER) of a tropical sea cucumber, <i>Holothuria scabra</i>, were determined in laboratory experiments. OCR and AER exhibited a significant negative correlation ...
Substrate preference for burying and feeding of sandfish Holothuria scabra juveniles
(Elsevier, 2017)
Substrate preference for both burying and feeding of sandfish Holothuria scabra juveniles (3–6 g wet body weight) and their associated daily behavior, growth and survival were investigated in laboratory and field experiments ...
Size measurement and nutritional condition evaluation methods in sandfish (Holothuria scabra Jaeger)
(Wiley, 2012)
The aims of this study were to establish an accurate size measurement method and a nutritional condition evaluation method of Holothuria scabra (Jaeger). Although 0.5% KCl and 0.05% MgSO<sub>4</sub> did not induce anaesthesia, ...
Aquaculture breeding enhancement: Maturation and spawning in sea cucumbers using a recombinant relaxin-like gonad-stimulating peptide
(Frontiers Media, 2019-02-19)
Wild sea cucumber resources have been rapidly exhausted and therefore there is an urgent need to develop approaches that will help restocking. Currently, there is a lack of information regarding the genes involved in sea ...
Factors affecting the spatio-temporal variability in the production of sandfish Holothuria scabra juveniles in floating hapa ocean nursery systems
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
Hatchery production of the tropical sea cucumber Holothuria scabra or sandfish has been successfully demonstrated in various countries, especially during the past decade. However, the main bottleneck in up-scaling production ...
