Microplastic ingestion by the farmed sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus in China [PDF]

Environmental Pollution, 2019
Microplastic ingestion by the farmed sea cucumber is undocumented. Microplastics were isolated from the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus that was collected from eight farms along the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea in China. To examine microplastic ingestion, the intestines were isolated, digested and then subjected to the floatation test.

Characteristics of the Intestine Extracts and Their Effect on the Crude Collagen Fibers of the Body Wall from Sea Cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

Biology, 2023
Sea cucumbers Apostichopus japonicus will vomit their intestines during certain stimulations, and the collagen of the body wall will then be degraded. To define the effect of the sea cucumber intestine extracts on the body wall, the intestinal extracts ...

Salegentibacter holothuriorum sp. nov., isolated from the edible holothurian Apostichopus japonicus [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2004
Strain KMM 3524Twas isolated from the holothurianApostichopus japonicusliving in the Sea of Japan. The bacterial strain was pigmented, non-motile, Gram-negative, strictly aerobic and oxidase-, catalase- andβ-galactosidase-positive. From the results of 16S rDNA sequence analysis, strain KMM 3524Twas found to be related closely toSalegentibacter salegens(

Potential Application of Linear Programming Method and Solid‐State Fermentation in Improving the Quality of Fish Feed and Profits of Small‐Scale Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Farming in Tanzania

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The scarcity of affordable and high‐quality fish feeds limits aquaculture development in many developing countries. The present study assessed the use of linear programming (LP) techniques for formulating Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) diets and solid‐state fermentation (SSF) technology to improve their nutritional value.

Analysis of gut microbiota and immune-related genes during sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) response to dietary supplementation with Codonopsis pilosula [PDF]

, 2021
The gut microbiota composition of sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicas) was investigated using high-throughput sequencing techniques. The mRNA expression of complement component 3 and lysozyme genes was evaluated using quantitative fluorescence PCR.

Untargeted Metabolomics Reveals Seasonal and Tissue‐Specific Metabolic Shifts in Holothuria cinerascens

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 2, February 2026.
Untargeted metabolic profiling of three body tissues from Holothuria cinerascens in South Africa using 1H‐NMR and UPLC–QTOF–MS revealed distinct tissue‐specific and seasonal metabolic variations, with the body wall and gut/mesentery exhibiting high metabolite diversity.

Eelgrass detritus as a food source for the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus Selenka (Echinidermata: Holothuroidea) in coastal waters of North China: an experimental study in flow-through systems. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Eelgrass ecosystems have a wide variety of ecological functions in which living tissues and detritus may be a food source for many marine animals. In this study, we conducted a laboratory simulating experiment to understand the trophic relationship ...

Persistence of Digestive Enzyme Activities of Sea Cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus): Evidence From Diet Switch After Evisceration

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
A two-stage diet-switch experiment was conducted to examine the hypothesis that the changes in digestive enzyme activities of sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) induced by historic diets might persist in the regenerated intestines.
