Towards an understanding of the shallow-water echinoderm biodiversity of KwaZulu-Natal, Republic of South Africa [PDF]
Prior to this study, 130 shallow-water (i.e. less then 50 m deep) species of echinoderms were reported from the subtropical (26°S/32°E -30°S/30°E) east coast of South Africa.

Toxic Properties of Holothurian’s Triterpene Glycosides
Holothurians (or sea cucumbers) are echinoderms and are found in all areas of the world oceans. These animals produce special low-molecular metabolites - triterpene glycosides, which are a means of chemical protection of holothurians from predators.

A Rare British Holothurian [PDF]
OF the six species of Holothurians with shield-shaped tentacles (the Aspidochirotae) that are known to occur on the shores of the North Atlantic Ocean, two—H. obscura and H. agglututinata—were so shortly described by Le Sueur as to be still, strange to American naturalists; no definite statement as to the presence of a true, that is, aspidochirote ...

Knowing and understanding the shallow-water holothurian biodiversity of the western Indian Ocean will even the path for conservation [PDF]
Extensive harvesting of the shallow-water holothurians from the western Indian Ocean (WIO) may, or most possibly will, decimate the standing stocks so fast that conservation innitiatives as we know them today (marine protected areas) might fail in their ...

Length–Weight Relationships of Commercial Species in the Eastern Australian Sea Cucumber Fishery
Biological data, such as length–weight relationships, are essential for the management and stewardship of harvested individuals. Sea cucumbers are a lucrative industry globally but many of the associated fisheries lack species-level biological data ...
