The effect of diet on the growth and energy budget of juvenile Neostichopus grammatus

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1235-1251, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Providing optimum energy levels in diets for sea cucumbers is essential, as an excess or inadequate energy level can lead to a reduced growth rate. This study investigated the effect of diets on the growth and energy budget of juvenile sea cucumber Neostichopus grammatus for twelve weeks.

The Effect of Salinity on Survival, Growth and Immunity Rate of Sea Cucumber (Holothuria Scabra) Juveniles [PDF]

, 2019
Sea cucumber is a stenohaline and osmoconforming organism with a low level of tolerance to salinity change. Salinity of the medium is one of the physiological factors that affect the growth and survival of sea cucumber juveniles. This study was aimed at

Evaluating Bacteriophage Impact on Vibrio Composition in the Gut of Broad‐Nosed Pipefish (Syngnathus typhle)

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.
Utilising 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and a novel non‐invasive swabbing technique, this investigation demonstrated that introduced bacteriophages can modulate the dynamics of the marine bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus within a tripartite system involving the gut microbiome of the pipefish, Syngnathus typhle, without disrupting core microbial ...

Reference assembly and gene expression analysis of Apostichopus japonicus larval development [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractThe transcriptome of the holothurian Apostichopus japonicus was sequenced at four developmental stages—blastula, gastrula, auricularia, pentactula—on an Illumina sequencer. Based on our RNA-seq data and the paired-end reads from 16 libraries obtained by other researchers earlier, we have achieved the currently most complete transcriptome ...

Bisphenol A (BPA) Directly Activates the G Protein-Coupled Estrogen Receptor 1 and Triggers the Metabolic Disruption in the Gonadal Tissue of Apostichopus japonicus

Biology, 2023
The sea cucumber, Apostichopus japonicus, is a marine benthic organism that feeds on small benthic particulate matter and is easily affected by pollutants. Bisphenol A (BPA, 4,4′-isopropylidenediphenol) has been identified as an endocrine disruptor.

Effects of temperature, salinity and pH on larval growth, survival and development of the sea cucumber Holothuria spinifera Theel [PDF]

, 2005
For large-scale seed production of sea cucumbers through a hatchery system, it is imperative to know the effects of environmental parameters on larval rearing. Auricularia larvae (48 h post-fertilization) were obtained from induced spawning of Holothuria

Effect of nursery site on the growth performance of juvenile sea cucumber, Holothuria scabra, in earth pond‐based hapa systems

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2025.
Abstract The tropical sea cucumber, Holothuria scabra, plays an important economic and ecological role. Aquaculture of this species has been developing rapidly, and an increasingly effective and efficient system for juvenile production is required. Nursery is a crucial process, as it involves the transition of rearing methods from indoor hatcheries to ...

Improving Distribution Prediction by Integrating Expert Range Maps and Opportunistic Occurrences: Evidence From Japanese Sea Cucumber

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
We first fitted SDMs for the Japanese sea cucumber based on opportunistic occurrence records via four modeling algorithms and then built two types of ensemble models using stacked generalization: an ensemble model that solely used four model predictions, and an expert‐informed ensemble model that further accounted for distance to the IUCN expert range ...
