Sea cucumbers reduce chromophoric dissolved organic matter in aquaculture tanks [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Mono-specific aquaculture effluents contain high concentrations of nutrients and organic matter, which affect negatively the water quality of the recipient ecosystems. A fundamental feature of water quality is its transparency. The fraction of

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.ABSTRACT There is growing interest in the co‐culture of macroalgae and filter‐feeding bivalves due to anticipated trophic benefits that may enhance the productivity of both organisms. Detritus from cultured macroalgae has the potential to supplement bivalve diets, yet few studies have directly examined this relationship in co‐culture systems.

Chiridota heheva—the cosmopolitan holothurian [PDF]
Marine Biodiversity, 2020 AbstractChemosynthetic ecosystems have long been acknowledged as key areas of enrichment for deep-sea life, supporting hundreds of endemic species. Echinoderms are among the most common taxa inhabiting the periphery of chemosynthetic environments, and of these, chiridotid holothurians are often the most frequently observed.

Frontiers in Marine ScienceSea cucumbers are considered a traditional food delicacy in Asian countries. In last decades high market demand, uncontrolled exploitation and inadequate management have led to stock overexploitation, driving commercial interest in new target species and

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Marine species ranges are often large, contributing to relatively high community similarity over space, with decreased ranges expected among taxa that have lower dispersal and/or higher substrate requirements. We tested for a weakening of biogeographic structuring among dispersing abyssal taxa along the benthic to holoplanktonic habitat ...

Proteases from the regenerating gut of the holothurian Eupentacta fraudatrix. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Four proteases with molecular masses of 132, 58, 53, and 47 kDa were detected in the digestive system of the holothurian Eupentacta fraudatrix. These proteases displayed the gelatinase activity and characteristics of zinc metalloproteinases.

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.
