Chinese market prices of beche-de-mer : implications for fisheries and aquaculture (2018, background): “Sea cucumbers are known to have low rates of natural mortality as adults [43,44], so allowing small animals to attain larger sizes in the wild is expected to improve the long-term economic performance of fisheries.”
A boom–bust phylum? Ecological and evolutionary consequences of density variations in echinoderms (2009, background): “In addition, growth rates can be difficult to estimate because echinoderms may cease growing in times of low food supply, or even shrink soft tissues (Sebens 1987, Uthicke et al. 2004, Ebert 2007).”
Evolving coral reef conservation with genetic information (2014, background): “2014), and provide benchmarks for the success of management (Uthicke et al. 2004).”
A Review of Sea Cucumber Aquaculture, Ranching, and Stock Enhancement in China (2016, background): “Sea cucumber populations depleted through overfishing recover slowly, if at all (Uthicke et al., 2004).”
Sea cucumber fisheries: global analysis of stocks, management measures and drivers of overfishing (2013, background): “These premises are doubtful for at least some key tropical (Uthicke et al. 2004) and temperate species (Hamel and Mercier 1996; So et al.”
