Has Phytodetritus Processing by an Abyssal Soft-Sediment Community Recovered 26 Years after an Experimental Disturbance? [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 The potential harvest of polymetallic nodules will heavily impact the abyssal, soft sediment ecosystem by removing sediment, hard substrate, and associated fauna inside mined areas. It is therefore important to know whether the ecosystem can recover from

Underwater Holothurian Target-Detection Algorithm Based on Improved CenterNet and Scene Feature Fusion [PDF]
Sensors, 2022 Aiming at the common problems, such as noise pollution, low contrast, and color distortion in underwater images, and the characteristics of holothurian recognition, such as morphological ambiguity, high similarity with the background, and coexistence of ...

Metabolic rates are significantly lower in abyssal Holothuroidea than in shallow-water Holothuroidea [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Recent analyses of metabolic rates in fishes, echinoderms, crustaceans and cephalopods have concluded that bathymetric declines in temperature- and mass-normalized metabolic rate do not result from resource-limitation (e.g. oxygen or food/chemical energy)

Toxic properties of holothurian’s triterpene glycosides
Вестник войск РХБ защиты, 2023 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.

Current Progress in Lipidomics of Marine Invertebrates
Marine Drugs, 2021 Marine invertebrates are a paraphyletic group that comprises more than 90% of all marine animal species. Lipids form the structural basis of cell membranes, are utilized as an energy reserve by all marine invertebrates, and are, therefore, considered ...

A Review of Factors Influencing the Seagrass-Sea Cucumber Association in Tropical Seagrass Meadows
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 In the tropical ecosystem, sea cucumbers are associated with seagrass meadows in various ways, often forming a network of ecological interactions. From this myriad of interactions, the trophic relationship between the seagrasses and sea cucumbers has ...
