A Review of Sea Cucumber Aquaculture, Ranching, and Stock Enhancement in China (2016, background): “They also show preference for particular ranges of sediment particle size (Uthicke and Karez, 1999; Mercier et al., 2000) and the high diversity of sea cucumbers on tropical coral reefs is thought to be a reflection of the broad range of habitats available (Kinch et al.”
Ltd Registered in England and Wales Registered Number : 1072954 Registered office : (2004, background): “Previous studies have reported a distinct spatial separation between juvenile and adult populations of deposit-feeding sea cucumbers (Cameron & Fankboner 1989; Mercier et al. 2000a).”
Spatio-Temporal and Size-Dependent Variation in the Success of Releasing Cultured Sea Cucumbers in the Wild (2008, background): “Apart from forming pairs and trios for spawning (Mercier et al., 2000), sandfish are largely nongregarious (Hamel et al., 2001).”
Breeding and rearing of the sea cucumber Holothuria scabra in Viet Nam (2004, background): “The pioneering breeding work of Dr James in India (James et al., 1994), and subsequent research by Battaglene et al. (1999) and Mercier et al. (2000) in the Solomon Islands, showed that sandfish, Holothuria scabra, is one of the most promising sea cucumber species for aquaculture.”
The ecological role of Holothuria scabra (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) within subtropical seagrass beds (2009, background): “Bottom-dwelling holothurians bioturbate their habitat by ingesting large amount of sand (Uthicke, 1999; Purcell, 2004) and by burying in the substrate (Mercier et al., 2000b).”
