Aquaculture Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Sea urchins, ecologically important marine species, host a complex gut microbiota that plays a significant role in their digestion, nutrient acquisition, and overall health. The gut microbes, along with endogenous enzymes, facilitate the breakdown of macroalgae and other food sources.

NAPHTHAQUINONE PIGMENT IN THE TROPICAL SEA URCHIN DIADEMA ANTILLARUM PHILIPPI [PDF]
Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 1956 Summary.Pigment with the characteristics of a naphthaquinone is widely distributed throughout the body of the echinoid Diadema antillarum. Chromatography indicates that there is a main reddish orange pigment sometimes accompanied by small amounts of a purple pigment.The purified main pigment crystallises in red needles which melt at 223°C, sublime ...

NITROGENOUS EXCRETION IN THE TROPICAL SEA URCHIN DIADEMA ANTILLARUM PHILIPPI
The Biological Bulletin, 1967 Diadema antillarum is ammonotelic in its excretion of nitrogenous waste products. It excretes approximately 60% of its total nonprotein nitrogen as ammonia and approximately 30% as amino acids. No urea, uric acid or other purine bases were found to be excreted.

Use of Diadema antillarum Spines by Juvenile Fish and Mysid Shrimp
Gulf and Caribbean Research, 2007 The long-spined sea urchin (Diadema antillarum Phillipi) is an important element in the structure and function of coral reef communities. Regarded as a key herbivore in reef communities, grazing by D. antillarum shifts community dominance from macroalgal cover to live coral (Lessios 2005, Tuya et al. 2004).
