The trophic biology of the holothurian Molpadia musculus: implications for organic matter cycling and ecosystem functioning in a deep submarine canyon [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2010 Megafaunal organisms play a key role in ecosystem functioning in the deep-sea through bioturbation, bioirrigation and organic matter cycling. At 3500 m water depth in the Nazaré Canyon, NE Atlantic, very high abundances of the infaunal holothurian ...

Deep-sea holothurians (Echinodermata, Holothuroidea) from the Colombian Southern Caribbean Sea [PDF]
Check List, 2020 Fifteen morphotypes of deep-sea holothurians were documented by photography or videography at depths of 596–2,566 m, using Remote Operated Vehicles (ROV) video surveys and towed camera transects, during hydrocarbon exploratory activities in the

Holothurian Fucosylated Chondroitin Sulfate [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2014 Fucosylated chondroitin sulfate (FucCS) is a structurally distinct glycosaminoglycan found in sea cucumber species. It has the same backbone composition of alternating 4-linked glucuronic acid and 3-linked N-acetyl galactosamine residues within disaccharide repeating units as regularly found in mammalian chondroitin sulfates.

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.

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2026.Abstract The Rowley Shoals, off northwestern Australia, are renowned as a biodiversity hotspot. This remote system comprises three atolls, Clerke, Imperieuse and Mermaid, which in recent years have been increasingly targeted by illegal fishing, a pressure rising across the Indo‐Pacific.

Structural Characterization and Profiles of Saponins from Two Algerian Sea Cucumbers
MoleculesSea cucumbers are benthic marine invertebrate members of the phylum Echinodermata. Due to the absence of a rigid skeleton, these species have developed chemical defenses based on the production of saponins (triterpene glycosides).

Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline
The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

CCFF‐Net: Cross‐Channel Feature Fusion Network for Underwater Object Detection
IET Image Processing, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.Challenging underwater environmental conditions lead to severe degradation of underwater images, such as intensity attenuation and colour distortion. This issue causes incomplete feature representation of underwater objects, posing difficulties to state‐of‐the‐art detectors.
